Transfer Activity Coefficients of Ortho-Su bstituted and Non-Ortho-Substituted Benzoates between Water, Methanol, and Polar Aprotic Solvents M. K. Chantooni, Jr., and I. M. Kolthoff* School of Chemistry, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55455 (Received November 6, 7973)

Plots of dissociation constants (as pKd(HA)) of non-ortho-substituted benzoic acids in water, W (and methanol, M) us. pKd(HA) in acetonitrile (AN) are linear. However, values of pKd(HA) of ortho-substituted benzoic acids in M and much more so in W deviate from these plots. Plots of the electrostatic part of the transfer activity coefficient, pANyW,M(AeI-), of non-ortho-substituted benzoate ions us. Hammett substituent constant, u, are linear. Values of pANyW,M(Ael-) of ortho-substituted benzoates with the exception of 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoate deviate from the straight lines. From comparison of the deviation of ortho-substituted benzoic acids and benzoates from the two types of plots mentioned it has been concluded that o-nitrobenzoates exhibit abnormally large electrostatic free energies of solvation in the protic solvent W and less so in M with little or no contribution of steric effects (in all solvents), while the opposite is true for 2,4,64rimethylbenzoate. Both electrostatic .solvation and steric effects are encountered with o-chlorobenzoates. Comparable values of transfer activity coefficients of uncharged ortho- and similar non-ortho-substituted benzoic acids are obtained. From the practical viewpoint it is noteworthy that resolution of acid strength between W(M) and AN for ortho-substituted acids is considerably less than for non-ortho-substituted benzoic acids. Quite generally, resolution of acid strength between M and AN is less than between W and AN.

Introduction In a previous paper1 transfer activity coefficients, MySi,2 were determined for substituted benzoic acids (HA), their anions, and their methyl esters (MeA) between methanol (M) and S = acetonitrile (AN), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The quantity pMySi is equal to AG0/2.303RT, where AGO is the standard free energy of transfer of specie i from M to S. Linear plots of pANyM(A-)and of pANyd(Ael-) (electrostatic contribution to transfer activity coefficient of A-) us. (pKd(HA))AN for non-ortho-substituted benzoates were obtained, with slopes of -0.54 and -0.43, respectively. Only two ortho-substituted benzoates were included in the plot of pANyM(A-)us. (pKd(HA))AN, which deviated considerably from the straight line. The present study is extended to several ortho-substituted acids in M and AN and we have also included water as a solvent for both ortho- and non-ortho-substituted benzoic acids. With regard to the non-ortho-substituted benzoates this has

yielded information on the effect of substituent on the difference in free energy of the solvation of these ions between water and AN, DMF, and DMSO. This provides further understanding in the nonaqueous solvents of the Hammett linear free energy p a relation, which is based on the ionization of benzoic acids in water. Furthermore, the well-known enhancement in acid strength of non-hydroxyortho-substituted benzoic acids in water and M is discussed in terms of the abnormally large electrostatic free energy of solvation of the corresponding anions in water and M. The following relations are used in the analysis of plots of pANyW,M(A-) or pANyW,M(AeI-)us. (pKd(HA))AN W,M

hancement in acid strength in water of ortho-substituted benzoic acids and anilinium ions as compared to that of the meta- and para-substituted compounds is well known,31 and for many years has been interpreted on a structural basis by the concept of steric inhibition of resonance. More recently it has been apparent that solute-solvent intera~tions329~3 also can play an important role. An example cited by Hammett is the deviation of ortho-substituted benzoic acids from the linear plot of Kd(HA)/ Kd(HBz) of non-ortho-substituted acids in 1-butanol us. that in water.34 From Figure 2 it is clear that ortho-substituted benzoic acids (with the exception of 2- and 2,6dihydroxybenzoic acids) do not lie on the straight lines of the plots of ( P K ~ ( H A ) )us. ~ , (~P K ~ ( H A ) ) *the ~ , deviation indicating that as in 1-butanol these acids are relatively stronger in W and M than the corresponding nonortho-substituted acids.

In Table I1 it is shown that the deviation cannot be attributed to abnormal values of pANyM,W (HA) of ortho-substituted benzoic acids as compared to those of non-ortho-substituted acids.

Isotope Effect in Diffusion of I4C-Substituted Benzenes in Benzene, n-Heptane,

n- Octane, and Cyclohexane at 25" S. J. Thornton and Peter J. Dunlop* Department of Physical lnorganic Chemistry, University of Adelaide, Adelaide, South Australia 5007 (Received October 26, 7973)

Tracer diffusion coefficients are presented for 14C-substituted benzenes of different molecular weights diffusing in benzene, n-heptane, n-octane, and cyclohexane at 25". The data which were obtained with one magnetically stirred diaphragm cell indicate that, in agreement with previous results, a small isotope effect is present in each system.

In a previous paper,l tracer diffusion coefficients, DT, were presented for 14C-substituted benzenes of varying molecular weight diffusing in unlabeled benzene. Those results indicated that, while the tracer diffusion coefficients were not inversely proportional to either the square root of the mass of the tracer species or to the square root of the reduced mass of the system, a very slight linear The Journal of Physical Chemistry, Vol. 78, No. 8, 1974

mass dependence was present. This information is contrary to both the theoretical prediction^^.^ and experimental findings4 for binary gaseous systems, to recent results for benzene tracers diffusing in benzene crystals, and to the results of Eppstein and Albright,6 who also studied benzene tracers diffusing in liquid benzene, but in agreement with the conclusions of PikaL7
