The IUPAC-NIST Solubility Data Series (SDS) is long-standing IUPAC project for the exhaustive compilation and critical evaluation of experimental data on solubility of chemically defined systems. As a result of changes in SDS publisher and the passage of time, it is now necessary to prepare and publicize background information for the guidance of both users of and contributors to the SDS. This proposed project will do this by preparing a Technical Report for publication in Pure and Applied Chemistry and/or the Journal of Physical and Chemical Reference Data (the present publisher of the SDS).
The past practice of the SDS has been to begin each volume with introductory material that explained 1) the goals and philosophy of the series, 2) formats by which information is presented in compilations and evaluations, and 3) the terminology and symbols by which solubility data are expressed. By its nature, some of this material was unique to an individual volume, but parts were similar or identical over many volumes. This project's aim is to revise, update and consolidate all of this introductory material that is common to all volumes and to publish it as a IUPAC Technical Report that will be cited in all future volumes of the SDS.
We propose this project at this time because a "Glossary of Terms Related to Solubility" (Project 2005-017-500) has recently been completed resulting in IUPAC Recommendations for terminology relating to solubility (publication expected in the February 2008 issue of Pure and Applied Chemistry). Now it is important to ensure that recommended terminology is consistently used and explained in our future work.Our draft outline for this paper is:
1.0 INTRODUCTION
- Nature of the SDS, with references to previous summaries
- Purpose of this TR - replaces and updates existing introductions for G-L, L-L, S-L systems published in previous volumes of the SDS - accompanying document to all future SDS volumes.
2.0 TABLES OF RECOMMENDED TERMS AND SYMBOLS FOR EXPRESSION OF SOLUBILITIES
- makes reference to Gold, Green Books, Experimental Determination of Solubilities, Glossary of Terms Related to Solubility, JPCRD style guide
3.0 LIST OF TERMS AND SYMBOLS NOT RECOMMENDED
- but used in older volumes of the SDS
4.0 COMPILATIONS
5.0 EVALUATIONS
6.0Â Â Â SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR GAS-LIQUID SYSTEMS
- use of absorption, Bunsen, Kuenen, Ostwald coefficients
- role of virial equation of state
- polymer systems
7.0 SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR LIQUID-LIQUID SYSTEMS
- fitting equations based on critical solution theory
8.0 SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR SOLID-LIQUID SYSTEMS
- fitting equations based on (a) Pitzer theory; (b) ionic mole fraction theory
- unified theory of solid-solution solubilities
