By means of the saturation shake-flask
technique, the saturation
solubility data of 3,3′-diaminodiphenyl sulfone in 14 monosolvents
(n-propanol, N,N-dimethylformamide, methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol, cyclohexane,
acetonitrile, isopropanol, water, n-butanol, ethyl
acetate, 1,4-dioxane, isobutanol, and 1-heptanol) was achieved at
temperatures from 283.15 to 328.15 K and ambient pressure (p = 101.2 kPa). No phenomenon of crystalline form transformation
or solvation occurred after dissolution of 3,3′-diaminodiphenyl
sulfone in different solvents. The solubility values (mole fraction)
of 3,3′-diaminodiphenyl sulfone in above 14 solvents increased
as the temperature elevated and obeyed the decreasing tendency in
different monosolvents as follows: N,N-dimethylformamide > ethyl acetate > acetonitrile > ethylene
glycol
> 1,4-dioxane > methanol > ethanol > isobutanol > n-propanol > n-butanol > isopropanol
> 1-heptanol
> water > cyclohexane. The mutual miscibility of solvent and
3,3′-diaminodiphenyl
sulfone was explained through the three-dimensional Hansen solubility
parameter. Examination was carried out for molecular interactions
between the solute–solvent and solvent–solvent species
by means of the linear solvation energy relationships. The solubility
data obtained through experiments was correlated by the use of four
models/equations, namely, the NRTL model, Apelblat equation, λh equation, and Wilson model. Correlation resulted in the
maximum root-mean-square and relative average deviation values of,
respectively, 397.1 × 10–5 and 7.57 ×
10–2. The Apelblat equation gave lower relative
average deviations than the other models/equations for a certain neat
solvent. Also, the mixing thermodynamic properties, infinite-dilution
activity coefficient, and reduced excess enthalpy were obtained in
terms of the Wilson model.
