Abstract
Mole fraction solubilities are reported for 1,4-dichloro-2-nitrobenzene dissolved in 24 organic solvents of varying polarity and hydrogen-bonding character. The experimental data are used to calculate Abraham solute descriptors. The calculated solute descriptors describe the experimental data to within an overall average standard deviation of 0.081 log units. Also reported in the manuscript are Abraham model solute descriptors for both 3,4-dichloro-1-nitrobenzene and 2,3-dichloro-1-nitrobenzene based on published literature data.
