Solubility parameter approach

Later Hildebrand defined the solubility parameter, S, as the square root of the cohesive energy density, ced, after Scatchard derived Equation (395) 

Equation (397) is identical to the van Laar-Lorentz equation (Equation (385)) if we assume that flj = yA Uj in this equation. On the other hand, if we use mole numbers instead of mole fractions (see Equation (390)), then Equation (397) can also be written as 

The partial molar internal energy of transferring a mole of component 2 from its pure liquid to the solution can be written as 

The Gibbs free energy of mixing is (dAG Gjn22)n = RTlna22, and if we assume that the entropy transfer for such a process for regular solutions is given by (dAS Gx/n22)nu = -R lnX, then Equation (400) becomes 

a22IX22 = (p )(, then by combining Equations (377) and (401) we obtain the excess chemical potential of the component, 2, for a regular solution

Hildebrand developed solubility parameters to predict the solubility of nonpolar polymers in nonpolar solvents. The solubility parameter is the square root of the CED. For polar solvents, special solvent-polymer interactions can be incorporated into the solubility parameter approach. 

For small molecules, such as solvents, the cohesive energy density is the energy of vaporization per unit volume. The value of the solubility-parameter approach is that... 

The major advantage of using the solubility parameter approach is that it is consistent with our methodology of matching solvent properties with application properties. In fact, the use of a distance measure can be extended to include all properties. 

The practical utility of the solubility parameter approach was enhanced considerably by Hansen (9—11), who reasoned that AH was made up of hydrogen bonding, h permanent dipole interaction, and dispersion, d, contributions, so that equation 3 holds where Sj = (AEj /v)1 2 j = d, p,h. This equation is... 

This discussion has been largely limited to solubility parameter approaches that some considerto be of limited application since they have quantitative limits. It should be appreciated that these theoretical approaches and their applications have led to a deeper understanding of solubility behavior and of predictive approaches to solubility estimations. More to the point, extrapolations and interpolations dramatically extend the applicability of these approaches to the estimation, albeit a crude estimation, of the solubility of a new compound in a well-studied solvent, or of a well-characterized compound in a new solvent. In 1949, Hildebrand stated ...

The solubility parameter approach was subsequently expanded from three to four terms with the division of the hydrogen-bonding parameter into acidic and basic solubility parameters to quantify electron-donor and electron-acceptor properties [48,49], However, the expansion of these solubility parameter terms did not make the equation any easier to use foptfiBi prediction of solubility in cosolvent systems. 

In this dilemma of contradicting interests, COSMO-RS can be a valuable tool for the computational characterization of the solubility behavior of the drug candidate as well as of its dissociation constants. Both are of crucial interest since the small and very expensive amount of compound has to be dissolved and embedded in different solvents and environments for the various steps of purification, crystallization, analysis, and formulation. At present, empirical solubility parameter approaches are often used in order to classify and predict the solubility behavior of the new drug, but despite their poor physical foundation, they have the additional disadvantage that the experimental measurement of the solubility parameters of the new drug consumes time and compound. In contrast, the required DFT/COSMO calculations can be started before the compounds come to the development laboratory, and a COSMO-RS solubility and dissociation screening can be completed—even at optimal computational level— when the work in the development department starts. Furthermore, none of the valuable substance is wasted in this step. 

Whatever the reason, it is clear that systems with negative heats of mixing have a good chance of being miscible and that the simple solubility parameter approach, embodied in Equation 4, cannot be used to describe the solution thermodynamics of these systems. Blanks and Prausnitz (66) suggest a scheme for characterizing polar interactions... 

The conclusions of this work are as follows (i) PS is compatible at low M with PMMA over a range of PS concentrations and molecular weights, up to nearly 40% for M = 600 (ii) increasing the styrene ratio in S-MMA copolymers increases compatibility with PS (iii) molecular weight is important in all cases, compatibility increasing with decreasing M (iv) the Flory-Iiuggins-Scott solubility parameter approach, while not quantitatively predictive, is consistent with qualitative trends in the results. 

According to Hildebrand s solubility parameter approach [101], two liquids are miscible if their solubility parameters 8 differ by no more than 3.4 units [101, 102] cf. Eqs. (2-1) and (5-77) for the definition of 8. That is, mutual miscibility decreases as the 8 values of two solvents become farther apart. Higher mutual solubility will follow if the 8 values of the solvents are closer. A comprehensive collection of 8 values has been given by Barton [100]. 

By analogy with the solubility parameter approach, the loss area, LA, for the area under the loss modulus-temperature curve in the vicinity of the glass-rubber transition is given by (7.9j... 

The convenience of the solubility parameter approach lies in the feasibility of assigning S values a priori to individual components of the mixture. This is accomplished as follows.

The solubility-parameter approach provides a useful framework for the choice of the mode of liquid chromatography that is best suited for a given analyte. However, solubility parameters of solutes are often unavailable and the solubility of an analyte in water, methanol and hexane provides a more pragmatic basis for the choice of chromatographic system. Figure 3.4 shows that low molecular weight analytes (RMM < 1000) may be divided into those that are water soluble and... 

The relative polarity of solvents in the polarity index scheme differs from that in the solubility parameter scheme. For example, using 8 values methanol is more polar than acetonitrile whereas using Snyder s polarity index, acetonitrile is more polar than methanol. Practical experience suggests that methanol is more polar than acetonitrile and therefore supports the solubility parameter approach.

The solubility parameter approach is a thermodynamically consistent theory and it has some links with other theories such as the van der Waals internal pressure concept, the Lennard-Jones pair potentials between molecules, and entropy of mixing concepts of the lattice theories. The solubility parameter concept has found wide use in industry for nonpolar solvents (i.e. solvent selection for polymer solutions and extraction processes) as well as in academic endeavor (thermodynamics of solutions), but it is unsuccessful for solutions where polar and especially hydrogen-bonding interactions are operating.
