Abstract
The gravimetric method was employed to determine the solubility of diclofenac (DIC) in twelve organic solvents (methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol, isobutanol, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, toluene, n-hexane, cyclohexane) from 288.15 to 328.15 K. In every solvent examined, the measurements demonstrated that the solubility increased with rising temperature. According to Hirshfeld surface analysis, H⋯H and C⋯H contacts are the predominant contributors to the crystal lattice. In addition, the solubility data were fitted to the Apelblat model, λh model, van’t Hoff model, and Pakkhesal model. The average relative deviation is 2.05% with the Apelblat model, indicating it possesses superior capability relative to the alternative models. The impact of solute–solvent interaction energies on DIC solubility was analyzed by simulation. Furthermore, analysis of solvent property effects on solubility indicates that hydrogen bond acceptor propensity is the primary factor governing solubility behavior.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Solution Chemistry offers a forum for research on the physical chemistry of liquid solutions in such fields as physical chemistry, chemical physics, molecular biology, statistical mechanics, biochemistry, and biophysics. The emphasis is on papers in which the solvent plays a dominant rather than incidental role. Featured topics include experimental investigations of the dielectric, spectroscopic, thermodynamic, transport, or relaxation properties of both electrolytes and nonelectrolytes in liquid solutions.
