Data frame summarizing the most important solvent properties for EPR/ENDOR which are required for variable temperature (VT) experiments and EPR spectroelectrochemistry.

Usage

solvents_ds

Format

A data frame with 46 rows and 10 variables/columns:

Solvent

Character, solvent name.

Formula

Character ponting to molecular formula.

MW

Numeric, pointing to relative molecular weight.

Boiling_Point_oC

Numeric corresponding to boling point in °C.

Melting_Point_oC

Numeric, corresponding melting point in °C.

Density_gmL

Numeric, corresponding to density in \(\text{g}\,\text{mL}^{-1}\).

Solubility_g100gW

Character, pointing solubility in water expressed in \(\text{g}\,(100\,\text{g}~\text{of}~\text{H}_2\text{O})^{-1}\). 2. Solubility of THF in water is rather complex.

Dielectric_Const

Character, corresponding to relative permittivity.

Flash_Point_oC

Numeric, pointing to flash point in °C.

Viscosity_cp

Character which corresponds to solvent dynamic viscosity in \(\text{cp}\equiv 1\,\text{mPa}\,\text{s}\). The values were collected from Sigma-Aldrich for 20°C; PubChem NCBI for 20°C and 25°C and from ACCU DYNE TEST for 20°C, 25°C or 30°C.

Details

The main properties were collected from the Division of Organic Chemistry of the ACS and the Sigma-Aldrich. Additional resources (e.g. for viscosities) are PubChem NCBI and ACCU DYNE TEST. Besides that, the polarity of solvents (expressed by the relative permitivity Dielectric_Const) is important parameter to decide which tube/cell has to be used for an experiment at specific temperature (unless the measurements performed directly in liquid \(\text{N}_2\)) => for polar solvents use capillaries or special "flat" cells (e.g. for EPR spectroelectrochemistry), while for less polar solvents common quartz tubes (with the i.d. of \((2-4)\,\text{mm}\)) can be applied.
