An improved estimation of water-organic liquid interfacial tension based on linear solvation energy relationship approach.
An equation based on the linear solvation energy relationship (LSER) was proposed to predict the interfacial tension between organic liquid and water. The equation takes into account five parameters characterizing properties of the organic liquid molecule: excess molar refraction, solute dipolarity/polarizability, effective hydrogen bond acidity, effective hydrogen bond basicity, and the McGowan molar intrinsic volume. The proposed equation provides a better approximation of the interfacial tension than a similar one derived earlier by Freitas et al. (J. Phys. Chem. B 101 (1997, 7488-7493), which is based on seven terms.
