Experimental estimates of selectivity free energy, for different organic solvents with respect to bulk liquid water (Cox and Parker, 1973; Marcus, 1983; Schmid et al., 2000; Yu et al., 2010a). For these estimates, is the partial molar Gibbs free energy for ion X in the specified medium relative to an ideal standard state, so that ΔG vanishes when ion–medium interactions vanish.
