Abstract:
Crystal structures of N-(2-chlorophenyl)-benzene-sulfonamide (I), N-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)-benzene-sulfonamide (II), N-(4-chlorophenyl)-benzene-sulfonamide (III) were solved by X-ray diffraction method. Temperature dependencies of saturated vapor pressure and thermodynamic functions of sublimation process were calculated (I: DeltaG(sub)(298)=50.4kJmol(-1); DeltaH(sub)(298)=114+/-1kJmol(-1); DeltaS(sub)(298)=213+/-3Jmol(-1)K(-1); II: DeltaG(sub)(298)=54.1kJmol(-1); DeltaH(sub)(298)=124.9+/-1.6kJmol(-1); DeltaS(sub)(298)=237+/-5Jmol(-1)K(-1); III: DeltaG(sub)(298)=49.9kJmol(-1); DeltaH(sub)(298)=98.6+/-1.9kJmol(-1); DeltaS(sub)(298)=163+/-5Jmol(-1)K(-1)). Thermochemical parameters of fusion process for the compounds were obtained. Enthalpies of evaporation were estimated from enthalpies of sublimation and fusion. Temperature dependencies of the solubility in water, n-octanol and n-hexane were measured. The thermodynamic functions of solubility and solvation processes were deduced. Specific and non-specific solvation terms were distinguished using the transfer from the "inert"n-hexane to the other solvents. The transfer processes of the molecules from water to n-octanol were analyzed and main driven forces were established.

Solubility
A solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of a solvent, the major component, and a solute, the minor component. The physical state of a solution—solid, liquid, or gas—is typically the same as that of the solvent. Solute concentrations are often described with qualitative terms such as dilute (of relatively low concentration) and concentrated (of relatively high concentration).
In a solution, the solute particles (molecules, atoms, and/or ions)...
Physical Properties Affecting Solubility
As for any solution, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is affected by the attractive intermolecular forces between solute and solvent species. Unlike solid and liquid solutes, however, there is no solute-solute intermolecular attraction to overcome when a gaseous solute dissolves in a liquid solvent since the atoms or molecules comprising a gas are far separated and experience negligible interactions. Consequently, solute-solvent interactions are the sole...

Factors Affecting Dissolution: Polymorphism, Amorphism and Pseudopolymorphism
Some polymorphic crystals possess lower aqueous solubility than their amorphous counterparts, leading to incomplete absorption. For instance, the oral suspension of Chloramphenicol, which...
