Solvent effect on the partial molar volume and the enthalpy of solution of gallium chloride

Partial molar volumes and heats of solution were determined for gallium chloride in benzene, toluene, o-xylene, mesitylene, 1,2-dichloroethane, ethyl acetate, acetonitrile, and 1,4-dioxane. A proportionality in changes in these characteristics is observed for weak π,ν-type complexes in alkylbenzene medium. The partial molar volumes of strong n,ν-type complexes approach a limiting value
