Experimental vapor pressures, vaporization, fusion, and sublimation enthalpies of a number of bromo-and iodo-substituted methylbenzenes have been studied by transpiration method in order to evaluate a series of experimental measurements that appear to be internally self-consistent. The compounds studied in this regard include bromobenzene, iodobenzene, 1-bromo-2-methylbenzene, 1-bromo-3-methylbenzene, 1-bromo-4-methylbenzene, 1-iodo-2-methylbenzene, 1-iodo-3-methylbenzene, 1-iodo-4-methylbenzene, 1-bromo-2,6-dimethylbenzene, 1-iodo-2,6-dimethylbenzene, and 1-iodo-2,4-dimethylbenzene. Gas-phase enthalpies of formation of halogen-substituted methylbenzenes were calculated by using quantum-chemical methods. Simple group-additivity procedures were developed for estimation of vaporization enthalpies and gas-phase and liquid-phase enthalpies of formation of halogensubstituted methylbenzenes.
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have been regarded as promising cost-effective and environmentally benign alternatives to conventional volatile organic solvents. The screening and selection of the suitable solvent for separation is an important part of the process design. Limiting activity coefficients provide a useful tool for the optimal choice of the selective solvent. For the first time, activity coefficients at infinite dilution have been measured in DESs as a solvent for 23 solutes (aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, ketones, ethers, and esters). The DESs were constituted from choline chloride and glycerol in molar ratios of 1:1 and 1:2. The measurements were carried out with the help of gas−liquid chromatography in the temperature range 298−358 K. Using experimental results, selectivity of different separation cases was assessed. To verify the separation performance of DESs the perturbed-chain statistical associating fluid theory (PC-SAFT) was employed for the first time. This method appears to be powerful tool for screening of suitable precursors and evaluation of separation performance at temperatures relevant for practical applications. It has turned out that the separation performances of DESs are comparable to those of ionic liquids, but DESs are cheaper, because they are constituted from natural and renewable nontoxic bioresources.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
