CONDUCTANCE BEHAVIOR OF SILVER [CRYPTAND-2,2,2] PERCHLORATE COMPLEX IN WATER-ACETONITRILE AND METHANOL ACETONITRILE MIXTURES

Conductance studies on silver [Cryptand 2,2,2] perchlorate complex hav e been made in water-acetonitrile and methanol-acetonitrile mixtures o ver the complete range of solvent compositions at 30 degrees C. The da ta were analysed by the Fuoss 1980 three parameter equation and the va riation of the Walden products of respective ions with solvent composi tion was analysed. The considerable decrease of the Walden products of {silver [Cryptand 2,2,2]}(+) has been explained in terms of the selec tive solvation of the ion by acetonitrile in both solvent mixtures.
