Enthalpic pairwise interactions of isomers of 2,4-pentanediol and 2,5-hexanediol in dimethylsulfoxide + water mixtures at 298.15 K
摘要
The dilution enthalpies of four chiral diols, namely (2S,4S)-(+)-2,4-pentanediol vs (2R,4R)-(鈭?-2,4-pentanediol and (2S,5S)-(+)-2,5-hexanediol vs (2R,5R)-(鈭?-2,5-hexanediol in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) + water mixtures at 298.15 K have been determined respectively, using isothermal titration calorimeter (ITC). On the basis of the McMillan-Mayer theory, homochiral enthalpic pairwise interaction coefficients (hxx) of the four diols in the mixed solvents of various mass fractions (w = 0-0.3) have been calculated. It is found amazedly that across the whole studied composition range of mixed solvent values of hxx for S-enantiomer are almost higher than R-enantiomer for each diol. The results are discussed from the point of view of solute-solute interaction and solute-solvent interaction accompanied by chiral discrimination effect. The variations of hxx with w for the four chiral diols depend largely on the competition equilibrium between hydrophobic-hydrophobic, hydrophilic-hydrophilic and hydrophobic-hydrophilic interactions in the ternary solution systems.
