Abstract:
Crystal structures of 4-amino-N-(4-chlorophenyl)-benzene-sulfonamide (IV), 4-amino-N-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)-benzene-sulfonamide (V), 4-amino-N-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-benzene-sulfonamide (VI) and 4-amino-N-(2,5-dichlorophenyl)-benzene-sulfonamide (VII) were solved by X-ray diffraction method. Temperature dependencies of saturated vapour pressure and thermodynamic functions of sublimation process were calculated (IV: delta Gsub298=74.0 kJ mol(-1), delta Hsub298=134.1+/-1.2 kJ mol(-1), delta Ssub298=202+/-3 J mol(-1)K(-1); V: delta Gsub298=61.7 kJ mol(-1), delta Hsub298=141.1+/-0.7 kJ mol(-1), delta Ssub298=266+/-2 J mol(-1)K(-1); VI: delta Gsub298=85.8 kJ mol(-1), delta Hsub298=167.5+/-3.6 kJ mol(-1), delta Ssub298=274+/-8 J mol(-1)K(-1); VII: delta Gsub298=75.7 kJ mol(-1), delta Hsub298=155.4+/-1.6 kJ mol(-1), delta Ssub298=268+/-4 J mol(-1)K(-1)). Thermochemical parameters of fusion and evaporation processes for the compounds were obtained. Temperature dependencies of the solubility in water, n-octanol were measured. The thermodynamic functions of solubility and solvation processes were deduced. The transfer processes of the molecules from water to n-octanol were analysed by diagram method and main driven forces were established.

Solubility of Ionic Compounds
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)...
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...
Recrystallization: Solid–Solution Equilibria
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...
