Abstract

The effects of solvent properties on 1,1-diamino-2,2-dinitroethylene (FOX-7) solubility were investigated from the solubility values in aqueous co-solvent mixtures of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in terms of the linear solvation energy relationships with use of mathCAD software. For both aqueous mixtures, the main effect of hydrogen bond basicity was observed based on the solubility variation of FOX-7. The preferential solvation (the difference in composition between the solvation shell of the solute and the bulk composition in a mixture) of FOX-7 in the two aqueous of co-solvent solutions were investigated by using the method of inverse Kirkwood–Buff integrals (IKBI). The values of the preferential solvation parameters (δx1,3) were negative in water-rich mixtures, which are − 3.103×10−2 to − 2.936 × 10−2 for DMF (1) + water (2) mixtures and − 4.470 × 10−2 to − 3.995 × 10−2 for DMSO (1) + water (2) mixtures. However, in the co-solvent compositions ranging from 0.19 or 0.21 to 1 in mole fraction of DMF or DMSO, positive values of δx1,3 were observed. The preference of FOX-7 in water-rich mixtures can be explained based on the higher acidic behavior of FOX-7 molecules, which interact with the proton–acceptor functional groups of DMF and DMSO. KAT-LSER analysis showed that only the hydrogen-bond acceptor basicity of solvents played an important role on the FOX-7 solubility owing to its two amino functional groups. The squared correlation coefficient and F-statistic values are 0.98 and 314 for DMF + water mixture, and 0.96 and 130 for DMSO + water mixture, respectively.
