The study found that the solubility of 3,5-dimethoxybenzoic acid in ethanol is higher than in n-butanol due to the presence of intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Experimental data fit well with various models, and the mixing process is spontaneous.
The solubility of 3,5-dimethoxybenzoic acid in 13 pure solvents range from 283.15 K to 323.15 K was investigated by the experiments and molecular simulations. Interestingly, its solubility in ethanol shows a particularity that is larger than that in n-butanol, which may be different from the expectation. This phenomenon was analyzed by molecular electrostatic potential surface (MEPs), Hirschfeld surface (HS), and radial distribution function (RDF) simulated by molecular dynamics (MD). The results indicate that the higher solubility of 3,5-dimethoxybenzoic acid in ethanol is due to the solute-solvent and solvent-solvent intermolecular hydrogen bonds. While in the investigation of the solubility in the esters, the relevant results of solvation free energy demonstrate that the solute-solvent interaction is dominant. The experimental data were further correlated with the van't Hoff model, lambda h model, the modified Apelblat equation and the NRTL model. All the overall ARD values are less than 4%. The modified Apelblat equation presents the best fitting effect. Furthermore, based on the NRTL model, the order of the obtained mixing Gibbs energy is consistent with the solubility order. Besides, its negative value indicates that the mixing process is spontaneous. The solubility of 3,5-dimethoxybenzoic acid in different solvents increases from 2-folds to 5-folds with the increasing temperature, which provides favorable conditions for the separation and purification of 3,5-dimethoxybenzoic acid in industrial production.

Similar but Not the Same: Difference in the Ability to Form Cocrystals between Nimesulide and the Pyridine Analogues

Mengwei Wang, Yiming Ma, Peng Shi, Shichao Du, Songgu Wu, Junbo Gong

Summary: By utilizing the widespread amino-pyridine synthon, Nimesulide was selected as the host component while a series of pyridine analogues were chosen as coformers, leading to the successful formation of new cocrystals. However, cocrystals between NMS and some pyridine analogues were not identified due to factors such as molecular flexibility and hydrogen bond acceptor strengths. Quantitative calculations revealed that molecular electrostatic potential, hydrogen bond acceptor strengths, molecular flexibility, and the horizontal distance of coformers' N atom projections have a significant impact on the formation of cocrystals.

Summary: The solubility of 2,2-Bis(hydroxymethyl)propionic acid (DMPA) in 12 mono solvents was investigated at various temperatures and the results were correlated with different models, with the Apelblat model showing the best fitting performance. The NRTL model revealed that solvation is a spontaneous and entropy-driven mixing process in solvents. It was also found that the polarity and hydrogen bond acceptor propensities of solvents play crucial roles in determining the solubility of DMPA. Molecular dynamic simulations were used to further study the solvent effect on the solubility of DMPA. The results showed a good correlation between solute-solvent interactions and solubility order.

Surface adsorption of adenine on pristine and B/N/O/P-doped coronene as a biosensing substrate for DNA detection- DFT study

R. Aneesh Kumar, S. Jamelah Al-Otaibi, Y. Sheena Mary, Y. Shyma Mary, Nivedita Acharjee, Renjith Thomas, Renjith Raveendran Pillai, T. L. Leena

Summary: In this study, the interactions between doped and pristine coronenes and adenine nucleobases were investigated using Density Functional Theory. The optimal configurations, adsorption energies, charge transfer, and electrical properties of each complex were calculated. It was found that doped coronene had stronger adsorption strength and charge transfer compared to pristine coronene. The stability of the complexes was attributed to non-covalent interactions in the interactive region. The change in electrical conductivity of coronenes after adsorption suggested their sensitivity towards DNA bases. The predicted energy gap and prolonged recovery time for adenine-coronene configurations indicated the potential application of pristine/doped coronene in DNA detection.

Summary: This study evaluated the adsorption of zolpidem on magnetic graphene oxide and synthesized magnetic graphene oxide adsorbents for zolpidem removal. The best magnetic nanoadsorbent was found to have a removal percentage of 87.07% at specific pH and temperature conditions. The results suggest that the removal of zolpidem is related to the surface chemistry of the adsorbent rather than the surface area of graphene oxide. The adsorbent showed excellent adsorption efficiency and magnetic behavior, making it a promising material for removing zolpidem from aqueous solutions.
