Solvent design data compilation

In this table, we provide solubility parameters for some liquid solvents that can be used as modifiers in supercritical fluid extraction and chromatography. The solubility parameters (in MPa1/2) were obtained from reference 3, and those in cal1/2cm 3/2 were obtained by application of Equation 4.1 for consistency. It should be noted that other tabulations exist in which these values are slightly different, since they were calculated from different measured data or models. Therefore, the reader is cautioned that these numbers are for trend analysis and separation design only. For other applications of cohesive parameter calculations, it may be more advisable to consult a specific compilation. This table should be used along with the table on modifier decomposition, since many of these liquids show chemical instability, especially in contact with active surfaces.
