Limiting mutual (tracer) diffusivities of aromatic compounds
in
different polar solvents were measured by the Taylor dispersion method.
The data of the nonassociated disc-like solutes in this work are shown
to validate the recently established fractional molecular–hydrodynamic
relation [Ind. Eng. Chem. Res.
2019, 58, 20423–20440]. A new model is proposed to account
for the tracer diffusivities of the aromatic solutes capable of H-bonding
in various polar organic solvents. The model contains two functions:
one for the intrinsic nonassociated diffusivity behavior of each individual
solute molecule and another for the effect due to its solute–solvent
H-bonding on diffusivity. A general equation developed from this model
is demonstrated to be capable of correlating and calculating a total
of 358 diffusivity data of H-bonded aromatic solutes, which have been
measured here and collected from the literature, in different organic
solvents at various temperatures to a standard deviation of 3.25%
only.
