Abstract
Abscisic acid (ABA) is one of the five natural growth regulators for plants and crystallization technology is used in the manufacturing of it. The thermodynamic behavior of it plays an important role in the development and design of crystallization processes. In this study, the solubility of ABA in twelve pure solvents was gravimetrically investigated over the temperature range of 278.15 K to 313.15 K. It was found that the solubility of ABA increased steadily with the rise of temperature. Four thermodynamic models (the modified Apelblat equation, van't Hoff equation, λh model and NRTL model) were applied to correlate the experimental solubility data, and the modified Apelblat equation model showed better fitting performance. The mixed thermodynamic properties of ABA in various pure solvents were also calculated, indicating that the mixed process is spontaneous and entropy-driven. Furthermore, to further explore the solid–liquid equilibrium behavior, Hirshfeld surface of ABA crystal was calculated and molecular dynamics simulations of different systems were performed. Based on equilibrium configurations of different systems, solute–solvent interaction energy was calculated, providing a reasonable explanation for the solubility of ABA. Meanwhile, the radial distribution function (RDF) plots were also employed to analyze the hydrogen bonding interactions between ABA molecules and solvent molecules.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Chemical Thermodynamics exists primarily for dissemination of significant new knowledge in experimental equilibrium thermodynamics and transport properties of chemical systems. The defining attributes of The Journal are the quality and relevance of the papers published.
The Journal publishes work relating to gases, liquids, solids, polymers, mixtures, solutions and interfaces. Studies on systems with variability, such as biological or bio-based materials, gas hydrates, among others, will also be considered provided these are well characterized and reproducible where possible. Experimental methods should be described in sufficient detail to allow critical assessment of the accuracy claimed.
Authors are encouraged to provide physical or chemical interpretations of the results. Articles can contain modelling sections providing representations of data or molecular insights into the properties or transformations studied. Theoretical papers on chemical thermodynamics using molecular theory or modelling are also considered.
The Journal welcomes review articles in the field of chemical thermodynamics but prospective authors should first consult one of the Editors concerning the suitability of the proposed review.
Contributions of a routine nature or reporting on uncharacterised materials are not accepted.
