Abstract

A method of analysis based on the UNIQUAC model has been developed to examine in more detail the hydrophobic fragmental constants for three different organic solvent/water systems. The three organic solvents, i.e. 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, chloroform and octan-1-ol, have been chosen to represent different chemical characteristics. This analysis allows one to differentiate fragmental values into a non-specific size term, which is due to the possible arrangment that a fragment has in space and specific interaction effects both with water and the organic phase. This differentiation of fragmental values permits the design of a universal scale of interaction terms relative to 2,2,4-trimethylpentane as a standard reference solvent. The interaction terms are discussed in terms of proton donating-accepting abilities of both the solvent and the fragment.
