The solubility acquired here was accurately correlated, which yielded relative average deviations (<em>RAD</em>) of ≤4.99 % and a root-mean-square deviation of ≤20.59 × 10⁻⁵ through the Jouyban-Acree and modified van’t Hoff-Jouyban-Acree models Additionally, to explain the solubility behavior at a temperature of 298.15 K, this work examines the acetonitrile/acetone/DMF + water and the previously published methanol/ethanol/isopropanol/PG + water blends utilizing the extended Hildebrand solubility technique. The <em>RAD</em> levels remained below 6.88 %. The dipolarity-polarizability and the solubility parameter of blended solvents exert a substantial impact on the variability of difenoconazole solubility. The preferred solvation of difenoconazole at a temperature of 298.15 K was examined through the inverse Kirkwood-Buff integrals. The solvation parameters’ values of difenoconazole were positive in blends containing methanol, acetone, DMF, ethanol, isopropanol, and acetonitrile with moderate and rich compositions. This indicates that difenoconazole is preferentially solvated by them in above composition ranges. A shift from an enthalpy-driven mechanism to an entropy-driven one was revealed through an analysis of the thermodynamics of the entropy-enthalpy relationship in the dissolution of difenoconazole in blends. Furthermore, the mean local ionization energy, Hirshfeld surface as well as molecular surface electrostatic potential were employed to illustrate the microscopic electrostatic characteristics.

In our previous work, on the basis of the corresponding state principle, the generalized second and third virial coefficient models were proposed for nonpolar, polar and quantum fluids in a wide temperature range. In this work, combined with the ideal heat capacities, the high-temperature performance of the truncated VEOSs was evaluated on derived thermodynamic properties including speed of sound, isobaric heat capacity, entropy and internal energy. The criterion for being “valid” is defined as 1% relative deviation from the multiparameter EOSs, and this work presents the valid density and pressure regions of the truncated VEOSs for the derived thermodynamic properties. The truncated VEOSs have valid densities of the saturated densities below the critical temperatures, and have valid densities that tend to be constant beyond the critical temperatures. The SRK EOS is chosen as the representative of generalized EOSs. By the comparisons with the SRK EOS, the truncated VEOSs show the advantage in stability and universality. The truncated VEOSs can give a reliable extrapolation with wide applicable pressure ranges at high temperatures for nonpolar, polar and quantum fluids. The applicable density regions of the truncated VEOSs for derived thermodynamic properties are recommended to be the valid density regions of the <em>pvT</em> property.
