We have used literature data on the conductivity of single ions to obtain limiting diffusion coefficients (D o ) of ions in water, alcohols, propanone and acetonitrile. We then used literature data on limiting diffusion coefficients of nonelectrolytes in order to set up linear free energy relationships that combine data for ions and nonelectrolytes, as log 10 (D o ) in the same equation, all values being at 298 K. These equations are for solvents water (N = 377, SD = 0.0474), methanol (N = 96, SD = 0.0332), ethanol (N = 96, SD = 0.0666), propan-1-ol (N = 71, SD = 0.0487), butan-1-ol (N = 53, SD = 0.0600), octan-1-ol (N = 61, SD = 0.0684), propanone (N = 86, SD = 0.0366) and acetonitrile (N = 74, SD = 0.0438) where N is the number of data points, that is ions plus nonelectrolytes, and SD is the standard deviation in log 10 (D o ). It is shown that solute hydrogen bond acidity, solute hydrogen bond basicity and solute volume all lower the diffusion constants of ions and nonelectrolytes in the various solvents studied.
