Abstract
Solutions of sodium tetrafluorobrate in acetonitrile-dimethylformamide, and acetonitrile-dimethylsulfoxide mixtures have been studied by FT-Raman spectroscopy for three solvent compositions, respectively. New bands due to solvent molecules in the first solvation shell of Na+ were detected in the region of the OCN deformation and CH3 rocking mode for amide and of the SO and CS stretching modes for sulfoxide. The individual solvation numbers of sodium cation in different environment were deduced. In all the cases, it is found that the sodium ion was preferentially solvated by DMF or DMSO in respective binary solvents. This result was further supported by ab initio calculations.
