Preferential solvation of acridine in binary mixtures

Preferential solvation studies of acridine have been investigated using optical absorption technique. The preferential solvation parameter shows that in dimethyl formamide (DMF) + ethanol mixture, the acridine is preferentially solvated by ethanol in DMF rich region and by DMF in ethanol rich region. In the case of DMF + Carbon tetrachloride mixture acridine is preferentially solvated by DMF.
