β¦ Synopsis
For the solvolysis of Co(4-t-Bupy)rClz-ions in water + methanol and water + ethanol, log (rate constant) does not vary linearly with the reciprocal of the dielectric constant. The Gibbs free energy, the enthalpy, and the entropy of activation are insensitive to changes in the solvent composition in these mixtures, although a slight broad maximum in AH* and AS* probably exists at mole fractions of about 0.2 in water + ethanol.
This contrasts with the extrema in AH* and AS* found with more hydrophobic alcohols used as cosolvents. However, the application of a Gibbs energy cycle to the solvolysis in water and in the mixtures shows that there is a differential effect of changes in solvent structure on the emergent solvated Co"I cation in the transition state and on Co(4-t-Bupy)4C12+ in the initial state. The stability of the former increases relative to that of the latter as the cosolvent content of the mixture rises.
