Thermodynamic parameters of solvation of nonelectrolytes in aqueous solutions with hydrogen bond networks.

The contributions from interaction and reorganization to the enthaplies of solvation of polar and nonpolar nonelectrolytes in aqueous solutions of formamide, ethanediol, and 1,2-propanediol, forming 3D-associated structures in the entire composition range, were calculated. The enthalpy terms of the solvation of nonelectrolytes in aqueous solutions of methyl-and dimethylformamide were estimated. The data were compared considering the thermodynamic characteristics of these aqueous systems that we determined previously. It was found that the shape of the concentration dependences of the enthalpies of solvation of nonelectrolytes in all the examined solutions is determined by the reorganization term. The fact that the solvation of nonelectrolytes in water is the most exothermic compared to the aqueous-organic systems under consideration is due to the lowest value of the reorganization term in water, despite the fact that nonelectrolytes interact with water more weakly than with the nonaqueous components.
