Abstract:
Quantitative structure-property relationships (QSPRs) between the molecular structure of [C(60)] and [C(70)] fullerene derivatives and their solubility in chlorobenzene (mg/mL) have been established by means of CORAL (CORrelations And Logic) freeware. The CORAL models are based on representation of the molecular structure by simplified molecular input line entry system (SMILES). Three random splits into the training and the external validation sets have been examined. The ranges of statistical characteristics of these models are as follows: n = 18, r (2) = 0.748-0.815, s = 15.1 -17.5 (mg/mL), F = 47-71 (training set); n = 9, r (2) = 0.806-0.936, s = 12.5-17.5 (mg/mL), F = 29-103 (validation set).

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 Solubility
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)...
