The present paper focus on complexation, interaction and deformation energies determination, besides geometries, electronic structure, and chemical reactivity in order to describe the changes that AZ during encapsulation in two phases and two orientations. The results obtained with the Long-range corrected hybrid functional (WB97X-D / Base 6-31G (d))clearly indicate that the formed complex is energetically preferred in both phases, and the inclusion complex in the orientation A is more favorable than in the orientation B and shows good compatibility with the experimental results. NBO and NCI analysis were performed on the β - CD / AZ complex to understand the different interactions. The 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) of the complex was studied using the Gauge-Including Atomic Orbital (GIAO).","PeriodicalId":20084,"journal":{"name":"Physical Chemistry Research","volume":"27 1","pages":"69-87"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68049791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the SAFT-type equations of state, the hard-sphere equation directly affects the reference term and through the radial distribution function, indirectly affects the chain and association terms. Although there are various EoSs for describing the thermodynamic behavior of the hard-sphere fluid, the Carnahan-Starling EoS has traditionally been used to express the hard-sphere contribution in SAFT-type models. In this work, we integrated eight hard-sphere EoS in the simplified SAFT EoS and parameterized the resulting EoS with pressure-density-temperature data. Then, using modified versions of the simplified SAFT (SSAFT), we calculated the thermodynamic properties including pressure, density, temperature, saturated vapor-pressure, isochoric heat capacity, isobaric heat capacity, and speed of sound, for ethane, butane, hexane, and hexatriacontane, and compared the results. In general, the results of calculations show that although the modified Carnahan-Starling, Kolafa, and Carnahan-Starling EoSs have had the best results, considering the simplicity and straightforwardness of the Carnahan-Starling EoS, this EoS is a reasonable choice for developing SAFT-type equations of state.","PeriodicalId":20084,"journal":{"name":"Physical Chemistry Research","volume":"10 1","pages":"45-56"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68051034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These ternary systems follow a type-1 Liquid-Liquid equilibrium diagram. Furthermore, the extraction capabilities of these solvents in this study were tested using the separation factor (S) which was found greater than 1 in all ternary systems (S varying between 3.52 and 18.37). Besides, the values of the distribution coefficient (D) of ethanol were also not constant over the entire composition of the two-phase region (D values varied between 0.777 and 0.928), which confirms the extraction of ethanol.

Because of the lack of experimental data for Fick diffusivities for ternary system, the validity of the model was tested by comparing Fick diffusivities obtained for binary subsystems with experimental data for acetone- chloroform system.
