Many processes that use highly tunable gas-expanded liquids (GXLs) rely on the fact that CO2 addition can greatly affect the polarity of the solvent. We have examined several measures of bulk and local polarity in CO2-expanded acetonitrile to enable more effective exploitation of these polarity changes. The rate of the nucleophilic substitution reaction of tributylamine with methyl p-nitrobenzenesulfonate has been analyzed as a function of solvent composition by using in situ high-pressure UV/vis spectroscopy. We have also measured solvatochromic properties including the Kamlet-Taft pi* parameter and Kosower's Z-value. We correlate these local polarity-based kinetic and solvatochromic measures to develop a better understanding of these property changes as a function of bulk and local solvent composition. The data suggest that local composition enhancement in CO2-expanded acetonitrile has a significant impact on the reaction kinetics.
