Abstract

The applicability of previously developed quantitative structure-property relationships was extended to predict the solubility of anthracene in nonaqueous binary and ternary solvent mixtures. The accuracy of the proposed methods was evaluated using 81 solubility data sets collected from the literature. The individual and mean percentage deviation (IPD and MPD) of experimental and computed solubilities were calculated as accuracy criteria. The computations were carried out using experimental and predicted mole fraction solubility of anthracene in monosolvent systems for binary and ternary solvent systems. The overall MPD of solubility prediction using experimental values in monosolvents varied from 5.2% to 4.2% and from 16.5% to 10.7% for binary and ternary solvents, using water to solvent and gas to solvent solvational parameters, respectively. The IPD distribution was better for the gas to solvent model. The corresponding ranges for the predicted solubility of anthracene in monosolvents were 47.9% to 28.1% and 23.9% to 22.5% for binary and ternary solvents, respectively, and IPD distribution was more favourable for the gas to solvent model. In general, the models derived from gas to solvent coefficients provided more accurate predictions and are recommended for practical applications.Key words: solubility, prediction, cosolvency, anthracene, Abraham model, Jouyban-Acree model.
