Popis: The UV absorption solvatochromic shift for a probe solute (2-nitroanisole) has been used to explore the solvent properties of supercritical SF/sub 6/, Xe, and C/sub 2/H/sub 6/. The ..pi..* polarity/polarizability scale established by Kamlet, Taft, and co-workers has been used to compare solvent properties with liquids and previously studied supercritical fluids (CO/sub 2/ and NH/sub 3/). The ..pi..* measurements for Xe show that it is a less polar/polarizable solvent then CO/sub 2/ at similar reduced densities. SF/sub 6/ was found to have lower ..pi..* parameters than Xe, although it has a greater polarizability. A change in the dependence of ..pi..* upon density was observed at reduced densities of 0.70 +/- 0.15 for all fluids studied.
