Abstract
Homologous series (or compound series with repeated incremental structural changes) are frequently used for analysis and prediction of properties of chemical substances. They are usually constructed by adding CH2 or other functional groups to the parent molecule and form one-dimensional spaces where the molecule or substance properties are a function of one variable, the number of added groups. Analysis of the property changes in such a series can help to identify anomalies. Interpolation and limited extrapolation can also be used for property prediction. A simple method is proposed for an automated generation of such series. It shows all possible changes in molecular structure leading to the construction of series within a given collection of compounds, including non-intuitive combinations of changes. The series constructed using this algorithm may include sets of isomers, the properties of which are expected to be similar, thus increasing the coverage in sparsely populated collections of chemical compounds.
期刊介绍:
Fluid Phase Equilibria publishes high-quality papers dealing with experimental, theoretical, and applied research related to equilibrium and transport properties of fluids, solids, and interfaces. Subjects of interest include physical/phase and chemical equilibria; equilibrium and nonequilibrium thermophysical properties; fundamental thermodynamic relations; and stability. The systems central to the journal include pure substances and mixtures of organic and inorganic materials, including polymers, biochemicals, and surfactants with sufficient characterization of composition and purity for the results to be reproduced. Alloys are of interest only when thermodynamic studies are included, purely material studies will not be considered. In all cases, authors are expected to provide physical or chemical interpretations of the results.
Experimental research can include measurements under all conditions of temperature, pressure, and composition, including critical and supercritical. Measurements are to be associated with systems and conditions of fundamental or applied interest, and may not be only a collection of routine data, such as physical property or solubility measurements at limited pressures and temperatures close to ambient, or surfactant studies focussed strictly on micellisation or micelle structure. Papers reporting common data must be accompanied by new physical insights and/or contemporary or new theory or techniques.
