Abstract:  The influence of water in the solvent upon the shift of the half-wave potentials of aluminium salts in acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran and dimethylformamide has been investigated. It was found that the shift may be correlated with donacity values of the respective solvents and water. Particular attention was paid to the influence of water on the solutions of aluminium chloride and bromide in acetonitrile; this is discussed with respect to the aluminium—halogen bond stability and the related self-ionization effect.
