Application of solvatochromic probes to supercritical and mixed fluid solvents
Changes of the polarity/polarizability of supercritical CO/sub 2/, N/sub 2/O, Freon-13, NH/sub 3/, and CO/sub 2//methanol mixtures, were measured by observing the shift of the uv absorption of 2-nitroanisole as a function of temperature and pressure. The polarities of the supercritical fluid solvents are compared to those of liquid solvents through use of the Kamlet-Taft ..pi..* polarity scale. In the pure fluid solvents the polarity was found to be correlated primarily with density. The data for CO/sub 2/ indicate that a change in the cybotatic region occurs at a fluid density of approx.0.3 gm/cm/sup 3/. Adding methanol as a modifer to supercritical CO/sub 2/ gradually increases the polarity of the solvent; in solutions with over 10% methanol the composition of the cybotatic region appears to differ from the bulk composition, being enriched in methanol. 25 refs., 7 figs., 2 tabs.
