Abstract
Molar conductivities of Bu4NBPh4, Bu4NNO3, LiNO3, NaNO3, KNO3 and AgNO3 have been reported in pure DMF and DMSO in the temperature range from 20 to 45 °C. The conductance data have been analyzed in terms of limiting molar conductivity Λ0 and ion-association constant KA. Separation of Λ0 into ionic components Λi 0 has been carried out on the basis of Bu4NBPh4 assumption in order to calculate the effective ionic radii ri in DMF and DMSO. Examination of ri values of K+ and Ag+ ions as a function of temperature revealed some specific interactions of Ag+ ion with DMF and DMSO. In DMSO electrostatic ion-dipole interaction of Li+, Na+ and K+ ions is found to be somewhat modified due to dipole-dipole interaction.
