Abstract The standard enthalpies and entropies of transfer from pyridine to pyridine+diluent mixtures of varying composition have been determined for the NiCl2py4 complex at 25°C using chloroform, 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane, aniline, benzene, and chlorobenzene as the diluents. Large negative enthalpies of transfer to solvent mixtures involving the protic diluents contrast with the small effects observed for the aprotic diluents. For the latter, the negative entropies of transfer agree with the assumption that pyridine molecules remain attached to the complex when the diluent is added to pyridine, indicating outer-sphere interaction of the amine with the complex. Solvent effects observed in the near infrared ligand-field spectrum of NiCl2py4 support the assumption of specific outer-sphere interactions with protic diluents. Additional information about these interactions is provided by the CTCT(t 2g→π*) metal-to-ligand band in the UV.
