The solubilities of triphenylphosphine in the organic solvents ethanol, 2-propanol, acetone, benzene, and toluene were measured by a gravimetrical method from (303.2 to 333.2) K. The logarithm of the solubility data was correlated against temperature with the average absolute error less than 2 %. The solubility of triphenylphosphine in ethanol was compared with the literature data and agreed with the literature data within 1.7 %. Although ethanol is often used for recrystallization of triphenylphosphine, the solubility of triphenylphosphine in acetone was higher compared with other solvents. Knowledge of the solubility data in the organic solvents is useful in the study of the crystallization of triphenylphosphine.
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.
