Gibbs Energies of Transfer of Hydrogen Ion from Water to Tetrahydrofuran + Water Mixtures and Basicity and Structuredness of Aquo-ethers

Abstract

The thermodynamic dissociation constants for isoelectric reaction of the type LHAttempts have been made to understand the basicity and structuredness of different aquo-ethers (D + HDME has been found to be structureforming and D has been found to be structure breaking over the whole composition range (0-87 wt% of organic solvent). But THF is slightly structure forming initially but structure breaking above 40 wt%.
