Polymorphism of paracetamol

The thermodynamic relationship between crystal modifications of paracetamol was studied by alternative methods. Temperature dependence of saturated vapor pressure for polymorphic modifications of the drug paracetamol (acetaminophen) was mea sured and thermodynamic functions of the sublimation process calculated. Solution calorimetry was carried out for the two modifications in the same solvent. Thermodynamic parameters for sublimation for form I (monoclinic) were found: ΔG _sub²⁹⁸=60.0 kJ mol⁻¹; ΔH _sub²⁹⁸=117.9±0.7 kJ mol⁻¹; ΔS _sub²⁹⁸=190±2 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹. For the orthorhombic modification (form II), the saturated vapor pressure could only be studied at 391 K. Phase transition enthalpy at 298 K, ΔH _tr²⁹⁸(I→II)=2.0±0.4 kJ mol⁻¹, was derived as the difference between the solution enthalpies of the noted polymorphs in the same solution (methanol). Based on ΔH _tr²⁹⁸ (I→II), differences between temperature dependencies of heat capacities of both modifications and the vapor pressure value of form II at 391 K, the temperature dependence of saturated vapor pressure and thermodynamic sublimation parameters for modification II were also estimated (ΔG _sub²⁹⁸=56.1 kJ mol⁻¹; ΔH _sub²⁹⁸=115.9±0.9 kJ mol⁻¹; ΔS _sub²⁹⁸=200±3 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹). The results indicate that the modifications are monotropically related, which is in contrast to findings recently reported found by classical thermochemical methods.

The kinetics of the reactions between Fe(phen) ₃ ²⁺ [phen = tris–(1,10) phenanthroline] and Co(CN)₅X³⁻ (X = Cl, Br or I) have been investigated in aqueous acidic solutions at I = 0.1 mol dm⁻³ (NaCl/HCl). The reactions were carried out at a fixed acid concentration ([H⁺] = 0.01 mol dm⁻³) and the second-order rate constants for the reactions at 25 °C were within the range of (0.151–1.117) dm³ mol⁻¹ s⁻¹. Ion-pair constants K _ip for these reactions, taking into consideration the protonation of the cobalt complexes, were 5.19 × 10⁴, 3.00 × 10² and 4.02 × 10⁴ mol⁻¹ dm⁻³ for X = Cl, Br and I, respectively. Activation parameters measured for these systems were as follows: ΔH* (kJ K⁻¹ mol⁻¹) = 94.3 ± 0.6, 97.3 ± 1.0 and 109.1 ± 0.4; ΔS* (J K⁻¹) = 69.1 ± 1.9, 74.9 ± 3.2 and 112.3 ± 1.3; ΔG* (kJ) = 73.7 ± 0.6, 75.0 ± 1.0 and 75.7 ± 0.4; E _a (kJ) = 96.9 ± 0.3, 99.8 ± 0.4, and 122.9 ± 0.3; A (dm³ mol⁻¹ s⁻¹) = (7.079 ± 0.035) × 10¹⁶, (1.413 ± 0.011) × 10¹⁷, and (9.772 ± 0.027) × 10²⁰ for X = Cl, Br, and I respectively.

Stationary points on the energy hypersurface of the reaction O3 + H•→ [•O3H]* ⇆ O2 + •OH and thermodynamic functions of •O3H at G3MP2B3, CCSD(T)-CBS (W1U) and MR-ACPF-CBS levels of theory

The relative enthalpies, ΔH^o (0) and ΔH^o (298.15), of stationary points (four minimum and three transition structures) on the ^•O₃H potential energy surface were calculated with the aid of the G3MP2B3 as well as the CCSD(T)–CBS (W1U) procedures from which we earlier found mean absolute deviations (MAD) of 3.9 kJ mol⁻¹ and 2.3 kJ mol⁻¹, respectively, between experimental and calculated standard enthalpies of the formation of a set of 32 free radicals. For CCSD(T)-CBS (W1U) the well depth from O₃ + H^• to trans-^•O₃H, ΔH^o_well(298.15) = −339.1 kJ mol⁻¹, as well as the reaction enthalpy of the overall reaction O₃ + H^•→O₂ + ^•OH, Δ_rH^o(298.15) = −333.7 kJ mol⁻¹, and the barrier of bond dissociation of trans-^•O₃H → O₂ + ^•OH, ΔH^o(298.15) = 22.3 kJ mol⁻¹, affirm the stable short-lived intermediate ^•O₃H. In addition, for radicals cis-^•O₃H and trans-^•O₃H, the thermodynamic functions heat capacity C^o_p(T), entropy S^o (T), and thermal energy content H^o(T) − H^o(0) are tabulated in the range of 100 − 3000 K. The much debated calculated standard enthalpy of the formation of the trans-^•O₃H resulted to be Δ_fH^o(298.15) = 31.1 kJ mol ⁻¹ and 32.9 kJ mol ⁻¹, at the G3MP2B3 and CCSD(T)-CBS (W1U) levels of theory, respectively. In addition, MR-ACPF-CBS calculations were applied to consider possible multiconfiguration effects and yield Δ_fH^o(298.15) = 21.2 kJ mol ⁻¹. The discrepancy between calculated values and the experimental value of −4.2 ± 21 kJ mol⁻¹ is still unresolved. Note added in proof: Yu-Ran Luo and J. Alistair Kerr, based on the discussion in reference 12, recently presented an experimental value of Δ_fH^o(298.15) = 29.7 ± 8.4 kJ mol⁻¹ in the 85th edition of the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (in progress).
