Comments on Gill's approach to the evaluation of single limiting ionic conductances in organic solvents

Abstract

Gill's approach to the evaluation of single ionic conductances in organic solvents is discussed and tested for R₄N⁺(R = Et, Pr and Bu) and BPh^–₄ ions in 11 solvents for which precise transference numbers are known. The results of the test show that the examined method gives comparatively good results (within the average uncertainty declared by Gill and coauthors) only for 3 pure solvents: butan-1-ol, acetonitrile and nitromethane.
