Abraham model equations for estimating the solubility of solid organic compounds in diethyl adipate
Abstract
Abraham model expressions have been derived for predicting the solubility of crystalline nonelectrolyte organic solutes dissolved in the anhydrous (dry) diethyl adipate mono-solvent from measured solubility data for a chemically diverse set of organic compounds covering a wide range of polarity and hydrogen-bonding character. Mole fraction solubilities are reported in the current study for (2-nitrophenyl)acetic acid, 2-naphthoxyacetic acid, and 23 substituted benzoic acids, as well as 9 noncarboxylic acid solutes, dissolved in diethyl adipate at 298.15 K. Solubilities were determined using a spectrophotometric method of chemical analysis. The Abraham model expressions reported in the current study were found to back-calculate the observed solubility data to within an overall standard deviation of 0.13 log units or less.
