Abstract
Experimental solubilities are reported at 25.0°C for phenanthrene dissolved in 41 different organic nonelectrolyte solvents containing ether, carbonyl, hydroxy, chloro, amino, ester, methyl and tert-butyl functional groups. Results of these measurements are used to test the applications and limitations of expressions derived from Mobile Order theory. For the 31 solvents for which predictions could be made, computations show that Mobile Order theory does provide fairly reasonable estimates of the saturation mole fraction solubilities. Average absolute deviation between predicted and observed values is 41.3% (excluding acetonitrile). In comparison, the average absolute deviation is 1610% when ideal solution behavior is assumed. Also reported are experimental solubilities at 26°C for pyrene dissolved in 1-hexanol, 1-heptanol, ethylbenzene, aniline, and 2-butanone.
