A
solvent parameter defined by:
derived from the Gibbs energy of transfer
(
) of a series of solutes from water to numerous aqueous-organic mixtures and to pure
solvents:
where
is a solute parameter,
and
and
characterize the solvent. The
values are used to define a solvent solvophobic effect so that
values are scaled
from unity (water) to zero (hexadecane).
