Solubility and Thermodynamic Properties of A Hexanediamine Derivative in Pure Organic Solvents and Nonaqueous Solvent Mixtures

The solubility of N , N ′-Bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinyl)-1,6-hexanediamine in seven pure solvents (acetonitrile, acetone, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, isopropyl acetate and isobutyl acetate) and two binary solvent mixtures (acetone + acetonitrile and methyl acetate + acetonitrile) were measured from 273.15 to 303.15 K at atmospheric pressure by a dynamic method. The solubility data in these pure solvents were correlated by the modified Apelblat model, the Wilson model and the NRTL model, and that in the binary solvents mixture were fitted to the CNIBS/R–K model and the NRTL model. Furthermore, the mixing thermodynamic properties in pure and binary solvent systems were calculated and are discussed, based on the NRTL model. Finally, the applicability of the model of Zhang et al. (Ind Eng Chem Res 51:6933–6938, 2012 ) in correlating solubility data versus dielectric constant was extended from organic solvent–water mixtures to pure organic solvents and nonaqueous organic solvent mixtures. It was found that the dissolution behavior of a compound in the binary solvent mixtures can be predicted to some extent from those in pure solvents.
