Abstrakt: Conductance measurements for fifteen uni-univalent salts in 2-methylpyridine-N-oxide (2-MPO) were made over the concentration range of 2-120×10-4 mol-dm-3 at 55°C. All conductance data were evaluated by the Lee-Wheaton equation. The results indicate that all of the salts studied are slightly associated in 2-MPO, which is, nevertheless, a reasonably good ionizing solvent compared to other solvents having a similar value for the dielectric constant. The tetraalkylammonium halides are weaker electrolytes than the tetraphenylborate salts in 2-MPO. Ionic limiting molar conductances were obtained by using as a reference electrolyte tris(iso-pentyl)butylammonium tetraphenylborate. Anions appear to be poorly solvated in this solvent but certain cations, particularly Na+ and K+, show evidence of specific ion-solvent interaction.
