Abstract
This study investigated the dissolution behavior of O-methylphenylacetic acid (OMPA) in twelve organic solvent systems (methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, i-propanol, n-butanol, i-butanol, acetone, acetonitrile, dichloromethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate) across eight temperature gradients. The solubility of all tested solvents increased with temperature, and acetone exhibited the highest solubility among them. A multidimensional research approach was employed to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the dissolution process. This approach integrated molecular electrostatic potential surface (MEPS) analysis, the interpretation of solvent physicochemical parameters, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Six thermodynamic models (λh, modified Apelblat, van't Hoff, Yaws, Wilson, and Jouyban models) were applied to correlate the regularity of solubility evolution. The validity of these models was evaluated through ARD and RMSD. Among these models examined, the Yaws model demonstrated optimal fitting performance with a 100ARD average of 0.8221. Additionally, thermodynamic analysis revealed patterns concerning changes in the apparent mixed Gibbs free energy (ΔsolG), the apparent mixing enthalpy change (ΔsolH), and the apparent mixing entropy change (ΔsolS) throughout the dissolution process. It was observed that the dissolution of OMPA is endothermic and driven by an increase in entropy.
期刊介绍:
Fluid Phase Equilibria publishes high-quality papers dealing with experimental, theoretical, and applied research related to equilibrium and transport properties of fluids, solids, and interfaces. Subjects of interest include physical/phase and chemical equilibria; equilibrium and nonequilibrium thermophysical properties; fundamental thermodynamic relations; and stability. The systems central to the journal include pure substances and mixtures of organic and inorganic materials, including polymers, biochemicals, and surfactants with sufficient characterization of composition and purity for the results to be reproduced. Alloys are of interest only when thermodynamic studies are included, purely material studies will not be considered. In all cases, authors are expected to provide physical or chemical interpretations of the results.
Experimental research can include measurements under all conditions of temperature, pressure, and composition, including critical and supercritical. Measurements are to be associated with systems and conditions of fundamental or applied interest, and may not be only a collection of routine data, such as physical property or solubility measurements at limited pressures and temperatures close to ambient, or surfactant studies focussed strictly on micellisation or micelle structure. Papers reporting common data must be accompanied by new physical insights and/or contemporary or new theory or techniques.
