Sulfonamides as a subject to study molecular interactions in crystals and solutions: sublimation, solubility, solvation, distribution and crystal structure.

Crystal structures of 4-amino-N-(4-chlorophenyl)-benzene-sulfonamide (IV), 4-amino-N-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)-benzene-sulfonamide (V), 4-amino-N-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-benzene-sulfonamide (VI) and 4-amino-N-(2,5-dichlorophenyl)-benzene-sulfonamide (VII) were solved by X-ray diffraction method. Temperature dependencies of saturated vapour pressure and thermodynamic functions of sublimation process were calculated (IV: delta Gsub298=74.0 kJ mol(-1), delta Hsub298=134.1+/-1.2 kJ mol(-1), delta Ssub298=202+/-3 J mol(-1)K(-1); V: delta Gsub298=61.7 kJ mol(-1), delta Hsub298=141.1+/-0.7 kJ mol(-1), delta Ssub298=266+/-2 J mol(-1)K(-1); VI: delta Gsub298=85.8 kJ mol(-1), delta Hsub298=167.5+/-3.6 kJ mol(-1), delta Ssub298=274+/-8 J mol(-1)K(-1); VII: delta Gsub298=75.7 kJ mol(-1), delta Hsub298=155.4+/-1.6 kJ mol(-1), delta Ssub298=268+/-4 J mol(-1)K(-1)). Thermochemical parameters of fusion and evaporation processes for the compounds were obtained. Temperature dependencies of the solubility in water, n-octanol were measured. The thermodynamic functions of solubility and solvation processes were deduced. The transfer processes of the molecules from water to n-octanol were analysed by diagram method and main driven forces were established.
