solvophobicity parameter, Sp

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.S05763
A solvent parameter defined by: Sp=1MM(hexadecane) derived from the Gibbs energy of transfer (ΔtG) of a series of solutes from water to numerous aqueous-organic mixtures and to pure solvents: ΔtG(to solvent)=M RT+D where RT is a solute parameter, and M and D characterize the solvent. The M values are used to define a solvent solvophobic effect so that Sp values are scaled from unity (water) to zero (hexadecane).
