Excess volumes,enthalpies, and Gibbs free energies for mixtures of benzene + p-xylene

Excess thermodynamic properties of benzene + p-xylene have been obtained at 288.15, 298.15, and 313.15 K. V^E was obtained with a Sodev vibrating-tube densimeter, H^E with a Picker flow microcalorimeter, and G^E was calculated from solid + liquid phase equilibria measurements. Measurements were also made of the heat capacity of liquid p-xylene as a function of temperature using the heat-capacity unit of the Picker flow microcalorimeter.     

Excess volumes for trichloroethene + benzene, + toluene, + p-xylene, + tetrachloromethane,and + trichloromethane at 303.15 K

Excess volumes V^E for trichloroethene (CCl₂CHCl) + benzene, + toluene, + p-xylene, + tetrachloromethane, and + trichloromethane have been measured at 303.15 K, by direct dilatometry. V^E has been found to be positive for trichloroethene + benzene, and + trichloromethane, and negative for trichloroethene + toluene, and + p-xylene. For trichloroethene + tetrachloromethane V^E is positive at low mole fractions of C₂HCl₃ and negative at high mole fractions.     

Intermolecular Interactions in Binary Liquid Mixtures of Styrene with m-, o-, or p-xylene

The densities (ρ), ultrasonic speeds (ν), and refractive indices (n) of binary mixtures of styrene (STY) with m-, o-, or p-xylene, including those of their pure liquids, were measured over the entire composition range at the temperatures 298.15, 303.15, 308.15, and 313.15 K. The excess volumes (V^E), deviations in isentropic compressibilities (Δks), acoustic impedances (ΔZ), and refractive indices (Δn) were calculated from the experimental data. Partial molar volumes (V⁰_?,2) and partial molar isentropic compressibilities (K⁰_?,2) of xylenes in styrene have also been calculated. The derived functions, namely, V^E, Δk_s, ΔZ, Δn, V⁰_?,2, and K⁰_?,2 were used to have a better understanding of the intermolecular interactions occurring between the component molecules of the present liquid mixtures. The variations of these parameters suggest that the interactions between styrene and o-, m-, or p-xylene molecules follow the sequences: p-xylene>o-xylene>m-xylene. Apart from using density data for the calculation of VE, excess molar volumes were also estimated using refractive index data. Furthermore, several refractive index mixing rules have been used to estimate the refractive indices of the studied liquid mixtures theoretically. Overall, the computed and measured data were interpreted in terms of interactions between the mixing components.

Ultrasonic behaviour of methyl methacrylate+hydrocarbon mixtures at 298.15 and 308.15 K

The excess isentropic compressibilities, K_s^E for seven binary mixtures of methyl methacrylate+benzene, +o-xylene, +m-xylene, +p-xylene, +toluene, +ethylbenzene and +cyclohexane were estimated from the measured densities and speeds of sound at 298.15 and 308.15 K. The K_s^E values were large and positive for MMA+cyclohexane and +m-xylene, while they were negative for other mixtures. A qualitative analysis of K_s^E values was made in terms of molecular interactions. The speeds of sound of all the mixtures were also predicted from the free length theory (FLT) and collision factor theory (CFT).

Experimental data on density, viscosity, and refractive index at T = (298.15, 303.15, and 308.15) K, while speed of sound values at T = 298.15 K are presented for the binary mixtures of (methylcyclohexane + benzene), methylbenzene (toluene), 1,4-dimethylbenzene (p-xylene), 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene (mesitylene), and methoxybenzene (anisole). From these data of density, viscosity, and refractive index, the excess molar volume, the deviations in viscosity, molar refraction, speed of sound, and isentropic compressibility have been calculated. The computed values have been fitted to Redlich-Kister polynomial equation to derive the coefficients and estimate the standard errors. Variations in the calculated excess quantities for these mixtures have been studied in terms of molecular interactions between the component liquids and the effects of methyl and methoxy group substitution on benzene ring.

Thermodynamics of weak interactions: Excess enthalpies of some binary bromoform mixtures

Excess enthalpies of bromoform + toluene, +o-xylene +m-xylene and +p-xylene have been determined at 308.15 K. These compounds have been examined for Barker's theory in order to understand the magnitude and nature of various interactions between the components of these mixtures. It has been concluded that the H-atom and one bromine atom of bromoform interact with the π cloud of the aromatic ring. These conclusions have been supplemented by n.m.r. studies. An approximate distance of the bromoform proton from the plane of the aromatic ring has also been calculated and examined in the light of the proposed geometry of the molecular complexes. Equilibrium constants for the complexations reaction have also been determined.

Efficient palladium-catalysed carbonylative and Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions with bis(di-tert-butylphosphino)-o-xylene

The use of the ligand bis(di-tert-butylphosphino)-o-xylene (dtbpx) in palladium-catalysed carbonylative and Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions is described. Aryl and vinyl halides readily entered into the carbonylative catalytic cycle affording carboxylic acids, amides as well as primary, secondary and tertiary esters, respectively, in good yields. Aryl iodides, bromides and chlorides gave high yields of biphenyl products upon reaction with both activated and unactivated boronic acids.

Excess molar enthalpy of binary mixtures of hexane+ethyl benzene, <Emphasis Type="Italic">o</Emphasis>-xylene, <Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis>-xylene and <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-xylene at 298.15 K

Summary This paper reports excess molar enthalpies of the binary systems hexane+ethyl benzene, hexane+o-xylene, hexane+m-xylene and hexane+p-xylene at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure, over the whole composition range. The data was measured directly using a Calvet microcalorimeter. The excess magnitude was correlated to a Redlich-Kister type equation for each mixture. Also, we will discuss the results for the four mixtures studied here and by comparison with the same binary systems but containing propyl propanoate as first component. Finally, we will correlate our results with the Nitta-Chao and the three UNIFAC theoretical approximations.

Excess volumes of mixing, V^E, for binary mixtures of 1,2-dichloroethane with benzene, toluene, o^?, m^?, and p-xylenes have been determined at 308.15 K over the complete composition range. V^E is positive for all these mixtures and varies in the order m-xylene >o-xylene >p-xylene > benzene > toluene. The experimental data have been analyzed in terms of the Prigogine's average potential cell model coupled with Balescu's theory. The calculated V^E values do not agree with the corresponding experimental values.     

Densities,refractive indices,and derived properties of (cyclohexane,orn-heptane + an aromatic hydrocarbon) atT = 298.15 K

This paper reports experimental densities and refractive indices of (cyclohexane, or n -heptane  + o -xylene, or m -xylene, or p -xylene, or ethylbenzene) over the whole composition range at T =  298.15 K and at atmospheric pressure. Excess molar volumes and changes of refractive indices were calculated from the experimental data obtained. Partial excess molar volumes were also computed for all the mixtures studied. The results were fitted by means of the Redlich–Kister equation with the aid of F -test to optimize the number of parameters. Measurements were compared with other literature values. Different empirical and semiempirical models were applied in order to estimate physical property values and good agreement was obtained with experimental results.
