Comment on “The solid–liquid equilibrium behavior of ε-CL-20 in 10 pure solvents and its molecular mechanism”

Abstract

This comment focus on issues related to the paper “Solid-Liquid Equilibrium Behavior of ε-CL-20 in 10 Pure Solvents and Its Molecular Mechanism” by Wang and collaborators [Chemical Engineering Science, 2025, 302 (Part B):120924]. First, errors in the heading of Table S7 and S8 in the Supporting Information are noted. Second, excessive rounding was identified in the fitting parameters across Supporting Information Tables S7-S9. Limiting precision to three significant digits not only reduced the predictive accuracy of the solubility model, i.e. making it impossible to reproduce the fitted solubility data using the model parameters, but also undermined the conclusions drawn in Part 4.2 of the paper regarding the comparative performance of thermodynamic models. Through case verification and parameter refitting, this commentary confirms the impact of these issues on the reliability of the research findings.
