Solution Thermodynamics and Preferential Solvation of Meloxicam in Propylene Glycol + Water Mixtures

The equilibrium solubilities of the analgesic drug meloxicam (MEL) in propylene glycol + water mixtures were determined at several temperatures from 293.15 to 313.15 K. The Gibbs energy, enthalpy, and entropy of solution and of mixing were obtained from these solubility data. The solubility was maximal in neat propylene glycol and very low in pure water at all temperatures studied. A nonlinear plot of Δ_soln H° versus Δ_soln G° gave a negative slope from pure water up to 0.80 mass fraction of propylene glycol and a positive slope above this composition up to neat propylene glycol, at the mean temperature 303.15 K. Accordingly, the driving mechanism for MEL solubility in the water-rich mixtures was the entropy, probably due to water-structure loss around nonpolar moieties of the drug, while for the propylene glycol-rich mixtures it was the enthalpy, probably due to better solvation of the drug. The preferential solvation of MEL by the components of the solvent was estimated by means of the inverse Kirkwood-Buff integral method, showing rather small preferential solvation of MEL by propylene glycol at all compositions.     

Preferential Solvation of Ketoprofen in Some Co-solvent Binary Mixtures

The preferential solvation parameters of ketoprofen (KTP) in ethanol (EtOH) + water and propylene glycol (PG) + water binary solvent mixtures were obtained from their thermodynamic properties by means of the inverse Kirkwood–Buff integrals (IKBI) and quasi-lattice quasi-chemical methods. According to the IKBI method, it is found that KTP is very sensitive to specific solvation effects, so the preferential solvation parameter by co-solvents, δx _1,3, is negative in the water-rich mixtures of both binary systems but positive in the other compositions at temperatures of 293.15, 303.15 and 313.15 K. From this it can be assumed that, in water-rich mixtures, hydrophobic hydration around the aromatic rings and the methyl group, present in the drug, plays a relevant role in the solvation. The bigger amount of drug solvation by the co-solvent in mixtures of similar solvent proportions and in co-solvent-rich mixtures could be due mainly to polarity effects. Moreover, in these mixtures the solute will be acting as a Lewis acid with the co-solvent molecules, because they are more basic than water.     

Molecular-Microscopic Properties and Preferential Solvation in Protic Ionic Liquid Mixtures

Structural and molecular-microscopic properties of the solvatochromic probes 4-nitroaniline, 4-nitroanisole, and Reichardt’s dye were investigated in binary mixtures of ethylammonium propionate with methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol and 2-propanol. Solvatochromic parameters (α, hydrogen-bond donor acidity; β, hydrogen-bond acceptor basicity; π*, dipolarity/polarizability; $ E_{\text{T}}^{\text{N}} $ , normalized polarity parameter) in different binary mixtures of ionic liquid with molecular solvents were determined with UV–Vis spectroscopy. The $ E_{\text{T}}^{\text{N}} $ parameters show nearly ideal trends in all solvent mixtures, but the other parameters show different behavior in the mixtures. The π* parameters show a negative deviation from ideality in the ionic liquid/methanol system. In contrast, the α parameters have severe positive deviations from ideal behavior in ionic liquid/1-propanol and ionic liquid/2-propanol solvent mixtures. A synergistic solvation effect is observed for the π* parameters in IL/methanol mixtures. Specific solute–solvent interactions or solvent–solvent interactions, which cause non-ideal trends in some parameters, are justified and interpreted by the preferential solvation model.     

Solubility and Thermodynamics of Solvation of Krypton in Mixtures of H/D Isotopomers of Water and Methanol at 101325 Pa and 278-318 K

The solubility of krypton in mixtures of H/D isotopomers of water (H₂O, D₂O) and methanol (CH₃OH, CD₃OH, CH₃OD) was studied at 101325 Pa and 278.15-318.15 K with a 10 K step. The thermodynamic characteristics of Kr solvation were calculated. The densities of mixtures of water and methanol isotopomers at the examined temperatures were calculated with an error of no more than 1 × 10^{- 5} g cm^{- 3} in the entire composition range. Both in water and aqueous methanol, krypton behaves as a structure-making component, but the alcohol solvation surrounding of the Kr atoms is more labile and more susceptible to the breaking effect of temperature.     

Solvatochromic Parameters and Preferential Solvation Behavior for Binary Mixtures of 1,3-Dialkylimidazolium Ionic Liquids with Water

Binary mixtures of 1,3-dialkylimidazolium based ionic liquids (ILs) and water were selected as solvent systems to investigate the solute-solvent and solvent-solvent interactions on the preferential solvation of solvatochromic indicators at 25℃. Empirical solvatochromic parameters, dipolarity/polarizability (π^*), hydrogen-bond donor acidity (α), hydrogen-bond acceptor basicity (β), and Reichardt's polarity parameters (E_T^N) were measured from the ultraviolet-visible spectral shifts of 4-nitroaniline, 4-nitroanisole, and Reichardt's dye. The solvent properties of the IL-water mixtures were found to be influenced by IL type and IL mole fraction (x_IL). All these studied systems showed the non-ideal behavior. The maximum deviation to ideality for the solvatochromic parameters can be obtained in the xIL range from 0.1 to 0.3. For most of the binary mixtures, the π^* values showed the synergistic effects instead of the E_T^N, α and β values. The observed synergy extent was dependent on the studied systems, such as the dye indicator and IL type. A preferential solvation model was utilized to gather information on the molecular interactions in the mixtures. The dye indicator was preferentially solvated on the following trend: IL >IL-water complex >water.     

Solubility of Sulfamethazine in the Binary Mixture of Acetonitrile + Methanol from 278.15 to 318.15 K: Measurement,Dissolution Thermodynamics,Preferential Solvation,and Correlation

Solubility of sulfamethazine (SMT) in acetonitrile (MeCN) + methanol (MeOH) cosolvents was determined at nine temperatures between 278.15 and 318.15 K. From the solubility data expressed in molar fraction, the thermodynamic functions of solution, transfer and mixing were calculated using the Gibbs and van ’t Hoff equations; on the other hand, the solubility data were modeled according to the Wilson models and NRTL. The solubility of SMT is thermo-dependent and is influenced by the solubility parameter of the cosolvent mixtures. In this case, the maximum solubility was achieved in the cosolvent mixture w0.40 at 318.15 K and the minimum in pure MeOH at 278.15 K. According to the thermodynamic functions, the SMT solution process is endothermic in addition to being favored by the entropic factor, and as for the preferential solvation parameter, SMT tends to be preferentially solvated by MeOH in all cosolvent systems; however, δx3,1<0.01, so the results are not conclusive. Finally, according to mean relative deviations (MRD%), the two models could be very useful tools for calculating the solubility of SMT in cosolvent mixtures and temperatures different from those reported in this research.     

Carbohydrates Exhibit a Distinct Preferential Solvation Pattern in Binary Aqueous Solvent Mixtures

Molecular dynamics simulations reveal the entire solvation shell around a model disaccharide dissolved in the binary 1:3 molar mixture of dimethyl sulfoxide and water becomes distinctly structured (see drawing). Such preferential solvation is due to the large number of hydroxyl groups and the rich network of hydrogen bonds of a disaccharide formed with the solvent.

Study on Preferential Solvation of Water by Electrochemical Method

The preferential solvation of water plays an important role in ferrocene research which is a subject of current interest. Voltammetric investigations were carried out for Au electrode in acetonitrile/water, showing preferential solvation of water. In our work, the preferential solvation of water in acetonitrile/water was studied by electrochemical methods including cyclic volitammetry, electrochemical impedance spectra and double‐step chronoamperometry. Ferrocenemethanol (FcCH₂OH) molecules as a solute spontaneously adsorb on the electrode surface in anhydrous acetonitrile, resulting from acetonitrile molecules tend to form an acetonitrile solvent layer on the surface of the electrode and acetonitrile solvent layer has a lower energy barrier than the aqueous solvent layer, which has been obtained by modeling solvation. The solvent strongly influences electrochemical behavior of solute. Once there is an amount of water in acetonitrile solvent, FcCH₂OH that adsorbed on the electrode surface desorb. This is because water preferentially solvate with FcCH₂OH in term of intermolecular forces between solvent and solute. Moreover, hydrogen bond between water molecules and FcCH₂OH molecules is stronger than dipole‐dipole interaction between acetonitrile molecules and FcCH₂OH molecules in solvation effect. Through electrochemical behavior of FcCH₂OH changing, preferential solvation of water is analyzed by electrochemical methods.

The Standard Partial Molar Volumes of Ions in Solution. Part 3. Volumes in Solvent Mixtures Where Preferential Solvation Takes Place

Standard partial molar volumes of 1:1 salts in aqueous mixtures of ethanol (EtOH), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and acetonitrile (MeCN) at 298.15 K were obtained from the literature. In such mixtures there is evidence that preferential solvation occurs in the solvent shell around the ion where electrostriction takes place. Specifically, the anions are better solvated by the water whereas the cations are generally solvated by both the water and the nonaqueous component of the mixtures to various extents. There are no clear-cut criteria for how the measured volumes are to be apportioned between the ions in such mixtures. Various solvation models were used to estimate the volumes of the salts by calculation of the electrostriction around the ions. Only the taking into account of the preferential solvation of the ions in the solvation shell yielded calculated results of the standard partial molar volumes of the salts in agreement with the experimental data.     

Preferential Solvation of the Sodium Cation in Binary Mixtures of Tetrahydrofuran with Unidentate Nitrogen Ligands

²³Na-chemical shifts for the NaClO₄ solute depend markedly upon the composition of binary solvent mixtures of THF with amines (pyridine, piperidine, pyrrolidine, aniline, propylamine, and isopropylamine). These changes, analyzed in a novel application of the Hill formalism, show equality of the intrinsic equilibrium constant K for the successive steps, upon displacement of THF from sodium coordination by one of these amines. The results, which are entirely consistent with tetracoordination of the sodium cation by these solvents, also indicate proportionality of the K values to the amine chemical shifts.     

Preferential Solvation in Mixed Solvents

The Kirkwood–Buff integrals and the volume-corrected preferential solvation parameters for the first solvation shell of binary mixtures of tetrahydrofuran with many organic solvents, calculated from reported thermodynamic data at the temperatures for which these data were available, are reported. The co-solvents include c-hexane, methyl-c-hexane, n-heptane, i-octane, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, 1-chlorobutane, dichloromethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, chloroform, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, tetrachlorom-ethane, tetrachloroethene, hexafluoro benzene, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, dibutyl ether, acetic acid, acetone, dimethyl sulfoxide, tetramethylene sulfone (sulfolane), acetonitrile, pyrrolidine, and triethylamine. The preferential solvation parameters of these mixtures are discussed in terms of the interactions that occur.     

The Standard Partial Molar Volumes of Ions in Solution. Part 2. The Volumes in Two Binary Solvent Mixtures with No Preferential Solvation

Standard partial molar volumes of ions were obtained from literature data on 1:1 electrolytes in mixtures of propylene carbonate (PC) with acetonitrile (MeCN) and of water (W) with methanol (MeOH) at 298.15 K. The hypothesis was examined that when the solvents in the mixtures do not differ too much in their polarity and/or hydrogen-bonding ability, only negligible preferential solvation occurs in the solvent shell around the ion where electrostriction takes place. Given the solvent-independent intrinsic volume of an ion, the electrostriction, calculated by the shell-by-shell method, permits the examination of this proposition. This hypothesis was indeed validated by the calculated standard partial molar ionic volumes in the dipolar aprotic mixtures and in the protic aqueous methanol.     

Solvation of Aniline in Mixtures of Water with N,N-Dimethylformamide and Acetonitrile

Thermal effects of aniline solution in water-N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and water-acetonitrile mixtures were measured at 25°C. In almost the whole range of compositions of the mixed solvents, the thermal effects are more positive in aqueous acetonitrile than in aqueous DMF. Particular attention was given to binary solvents with a very low content of the organic cosolvent. In the mixture with the mole fraction of DMF of 10^{- 3}, the enthalpy of aniline solution is higher than in water by 5%, and in the mixture with the mole fraction of acetonitrile of 4 × 10^{- 4}, even by 15%. Features of specific solvation of aniline and an aliphatic amine (n-BuNH₂) in the water-DMF mixture were discussed taking into account the acid-base properties of the mixtures. The coefficients of pair interactions aniline-organic solvent in water and aniline-water in the organic solvent were calculated using the McMillan-Mayer theory. These coefficients correlate with the enthalpies of hydration of aprotic solvent molecules.
