Conductance of bis(2,9-dimethyl-l,lO-phenanthroline)Cu(I)perchlorate was measured in methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, I-butanol, acetone, and methyl ethyl ketone at 2.5'. Experimental data were analyzed with the Fuoss--0nsager conductance theory (1965). The chelate salt was found to be more associated in alcohols than in ketones. This behavior was explained by the solvation of ketones to the chelate cation. Perchlorate ion does not seem to be solvated by either alcohols or ketones. The association constants obtained here were much smaller than those of Bu4NCl04 which is hydrodynamically a little smaller than the chelate salt. This fact can be interpreted in terms of the decrease In charge density on the chelate cation arising from the coordination bond between Cu(1) and the aromatic ligands.

Introduction Recently K a y and Evans, et u Z . , ' - ~ have extensively studied the conductance behavior of a number of tetraalkylarnmonium salts in aqueous and various organic solvents. They found that in water and alcohols, salts with large anions, such as perchlorate and iodide ions, are more associated than those with sinall ions. They also measured the conductance of alkali metal perchlorates in acetonitrile6 and found that salts with large oations, such as cesium and rubidium ions, are more associated than those with small ions. These observations seem to conflict with the ionic association theories.? * However, Evans and Kay4v9 discussed the dicmepancy in terms of the difference in the extent of solvation and concluded that in a solvent

with solvating power, small ions are well solvated and therefore so-called solvent-separated ion pairs are predominantly formed, but large ions are almost bare in (1) D. F. Evans, C. Zawoyski, and R.

solvents such as water and alcohols and form contact ion pairs. They also have systematically investigated the interaction OF water with the hydrocarbon portion of the tetraalkylainmoniuan~~um ions from the viewpoint of its transport proper tie^.^*'^^'^ It is the purpose of this study to investigate, by means of the coiiduatance measurement, the interaction with solventh of the chelate salt in which the cation 1s surrounded by large aromatic groups and to see whether Evans's explianaticn for the association behavior holds for thnc, systeii. Since the charge of the cation seems to be screened by a significant amount by the bulky groupF, I C is expected that there may be some interesting diffcn en-es between this complex cation and small inorganic ions frequentlv measured regarding the Interaction n i t h solvents.

Specific conductances were 3 X 4.0+ ohm-' cm--l for acetone and 3.9 >( cm-l for methyl ethyl. ketone (abbreviated to RZEK), the densities of which were 0.78468 and 0.9955Py respectively. The corresponding values reported are 0.?843314 and 0.7845315 for the former and 0.79955l6 for the lat,ter. The value of 0.8011 report'ed by Fuoss'7 for 1'6EI.I is considerably high, which is probably due to water contamination. Water content in solvents used was examined by t'it'ration with Karl Fischer reagent and found to be less than 0.01 wt % in each case. Other physical properties of the solvents used were quoted from the literatures cited above.

Although this large electrolyte is expected to affect the solution viscosity to a , viscosity correction was made, considerable ex ; e ~ t , no since it is well known1 that such a correction has no effect on AO cr K a and only results in small changes in All the calculations were carried out by an electronic computer, TOSBAC 3400, using the leastsquares method proposed by Kay.21 I n acetone a standard deviation when treated with eq 1 was smaller than that wilh sy 2 and a negative K Avalue of smaller magnitude t hail the standard deviation was derived. Therefore it should be concluded that this salt is completely dissooiated ~n acetone. On the other hand, in methanol it was reasonable to treat the data with eq 2 since a positive K A value of larger magnitude than the standard de7,iarion was derived. These facts are the criteria, generaliy accepted as a good evidence that an electrolyte is asFociated in any solvents.z2 All the parameters obtained are summarized in Table X together with those in nitrobenzenez3for comparison. Thr precision of those in butanol is somewhat poor because of the low d u b i l i t y of the chelate salt in this solvent.

a curvature is observed in this case. This behavior, also found in dioxane-water has been explained generally by some kinds of solute-solvent interactions. But it is not clear what kind of the interaction works 111 this case because of the lack of the data in other and mired solvents. Such an investigation is under ~5 ay in our laboratory.

It seems worthwhile to compare the results in alcohols with those in ketones since Figure 1 shows that this salt is more dissociated in ketones than in alcohols. The same pattern has been observed for tetraand alkylarnmonium salts by Evans, et u1.,5,9,13,14329 Pistoia.16 Evans, et al., discussed the association behavior of these salts in several alcohols and proposed &hetwo-step aasociation mechanism involving solventseparated and contact ion pairs

(20) Though in principle, the 1965 equation demands that the parameter a be derived from L and K A terms, this makes the estimation of the standard deviation quite difficult. Therefore a was derived from only the L term since the magnitude of the standard deviation is essential to the discussion described below.

tion and K S to the contact ion pair formalion. They found that, while K 1 is nearly independent of a k over some finite region of ion sizes, K , becomes larger as the anion size is increaschd and therefore the overall association constant is greater for large anions than for small ones which. prefer the solvent-separated ion pairs. Thur, bis(2,g.-djmetliyl-l,10-phenanthroline) Cu(1) perchlorate mag be assumed to form a contact ion pair in aIcoliols. Table I1 sho~vsthe ionic Walden product of the chelate cation An inspection of Table I1 clearly indicates thac the values obtained in alcohols are almost constant with the change in solvent and are nearly equal t o the value in nitrobenzene which has no acid-base properties and so (cannot solvate electrolytes to a significant extent. This fact is used by Kay, et uL,l for the eqilanation 3f the abnormally large association constants of horganic salts in this solvent.

BUAN ion for comparison. Despite the fact that hydrodynamically this complex cation is only slightly larger than Bu4Ni, the association constants of the complex salt are much smaller than those of Bu4XC104, which are reported to be 769 f 6,1J 2200 h 20,9 and 90 f 214 in PrOH, BuOH, and acetone, respectively. This may be explained by the asiumptiorr that thc charge on the chelate cation is well distribclted over the ligands through the coordination bend bet n-een Cu(I) and the aromatic ligands. Therefore its charge density is considerably reduced, whereas m Bu4X'-its charge is localized chiefly on the nitrogen atom. These features seem to cause the difference between the complex salt and Bu4NC104in the M A values. On the other hand, ketones are good hydrogen bond acceptors but have no donor hydrogens, and they are probably not as associated as alcohols. The direction of the dipole suggests that ketones have an affinity for cations but not for anions. The iomc Walden product for the cation obtained in acetone is found to be much smaller than those in alcohols and nitrobenzene from the Table 11. Though the limiting mobility of Clodin MEK is not available in the literature, the Welden product is smaller than that in acetone. This means that the ionic Walden product in bK&X may be smaller than those in alcohols. Of course the relative size of the cation to solvent molecules is large enough t o satisfy the hydrodynamic conditions for the Stokes law to hold. As Fu0ssZ5and ZwunzigZ6pointed out, there may be a contribution from the dipole relaxation of the solvent molecules t o the mobility iormulateed as

From the above discussions, it may be reasonable to assume contact ion pairs in this case. Stabilization of ions by alcohols does not seem to work here due to the large size of the component ions and low number of active monomeric alcohols available for solvation. Kay, et aZ.,2 pointed. out that it is possible for alcohols to stabilize the ion pairs by hydrogen bonding for bulky eled.rolytes. 'Their assumption holds also for this chelate salt in alcohols. However, it may be possible that since thr: dielectric constants of alcohols are larger than expected from their dipole moments owing to the structure arising from hydrogen bonding, local breaking of the bonding by the dissolution of electrolytes decreases the effective dielectric constant of alcohols, so that the ion pair formation becomes more favorable. The fact that this salt is more dissociated in dioxanewater mixturesz3than in pure alcohols suggests the possibility of the decrease in effective dielectric constants. 113 Tab1 2 li 1 arc included the ionic Walden product of The Journal of Ph,g/sicul Chemistry, Vol. 7 6 , N o . 21, 1972

where B is a function of the dielectric constants and viscosity, and so a decrease in the ionic Walden product is expected with decreasing dielectric constant. The fact that these values are almost constant in alcohols while the dielectric constant varies from 32.62 to 17.45 leads us to assume that the contribution is decreased considerably owing t o the large size of the cation. Then the solvation of ketones to the chelate cation appears to retard the ionic migration and promote the dissociation of the chelate salt, On the other hand, the Walden product of Bu4N+ in acetone is nearly equal to those in alcohols. From the discussions described above, this chelate salt prefers a solvent-separated ion pair with the solvent held to the cation in ketones. This is a reasonable explanation for the association behaviors shown in Figure 1.
