Abstract
The evaluation of the mixed solvent effect by means of the Kirkwood and Born functions of the relative permitivity of the mixed solvent has been criticized as a thermodynamically inconsistent procedure. A procedure has been suggested to estimate the composition of solvation sphere around dipolar molecules or transition states in binary mixtures of a polar and a nonpolar solvents.
