Abstract

This research was designed to examine the thermodynamic properties of aqueous solutions of pyridine and piperidine. The density, excess molar enthalpy of mixing, HE, and excess molar volume of mixing, vE of piperidine–water and pyridine–water mixtures were studied at three temperatures, ranging from 294 K to 315 K. The HE and vE are negative for both mixtures, minimizing at a water mole fraction of about 0.55. The minimum HE for piperidine–water mixtures is −2.23 kJ/mol which is compared with −1.63 kJ/mol for pyridine–water mixtures. The minimum vE are about −1.7 cm3/mol and −0.7 cm3/mol for piperidine–water and pyridine–water mixtures, respectively. The thermal expansion coefficients αT at 303 K, calculated from the density studies, exhibited significant positive deviations (about 20%) from ideality for piperidine–water mixtures. In contrast to this pyridine–water αT only exhibited small positive deviations from ideality of about 2%. The results predict decreases in the absolute magnitude of vE with an increase in temperature which are 5. × 10−3 cm3/K mol and 1. × 10−3 cm3/K mol, for piperidine–water and pyridine–water mixtures, respectively. The results for vE for piperidine–water mixtures agree with the very precise work of Afzal et al., J. Chem. Thermodyn. 40 (2008) 47–53. The data are interpreted in terms of the greater number of opportunities for hydrogen bonding interactions between the unlike molecules for the piperidine–water mixtures.

Introduction

Thermophysical properties of liquids and liquid mixtures are needed for both fundamental and practical applications. Excess thermodynamic properties provide information on the interactions between molecules of the liquid mixtures and the liquid structure. Therefore the study of the connection between thermodynamics and other fields, particularly transport phenomena, mathematical modeling and kinetics, is encouraged in both Chemistry and Chemical Engineering.

The study of the thermodynamic properties of amines and their mixtures with water is of interest due to the common existence of amines in nature (nicotine, morphine, amphetamine, etc.) and their applications in chemical processes. In this context both piperidine and pyridine are used in variety applications especially as solvents and reagents in organic synthesis [1], [2], [3].

Afzal et al. [4] recently published a very excellent and comprehensive study of the density and excess volume of piperidine–water mixtures over a wide range of temperatures. Negative volumes of mixing are reported in this work. However no comparable studies have been reported on the excess enthalpy of mixing. In this paper excess enthalpies of mixing are reported for both piperidine–water and pyridine–water mixtures. The density and excess volumes of mixing as a function of temperature over the entire concentration range are also investigated for both mixtures. The density measurements on piperidine–water mixtures provide a comparison with the previous work of Afzal et al. [4] that is a valuable check on our techniques. The results are interpreted in terms of the hydrogen bonding interactions between the unlike molecules and the very open tetrahedrally hydrogen bonded water structure in pure liquid water. The interpretations include discussions of the similarities and differences between piperidine and pyridine, piperidine being the aliphatic analogue of pyridine which adds a hydrogen to the amine nitrogen. This hydrogen provides opportunity for an additional hydrogen bonding interaction between piperidine and water.

Experimental

Pyridine and piperidine were purchased from Aldrich with a purity of 99.8% and 99%, respectively. The chemicals were used without further purification. Deionized water with a 99.99% purity was used in the experiments. The excess enthalpies of mixing, denoted as HE were measured with a Parr 6755 Constant Pressure Solution Calorimeter. Water and the amine of interest were titrated, using 50-mL burettes, into separate containers. The lesser volume was contained in a rotating sample cell whereas

Calorimetric studies

The enthalpy of mixing is calculated from the temperature rise, ΔT, measured in the solution calorimeter experiment using the equation,ΔHm=q=CΔT,where ΔHm is the enthalpy change for the mixing process, q is the heat absorbed or released upon mixing, and C is the heat capacity of the calorimeter and its contents. The value of C is calculated using the relationC=n1Cp,1+n2Cp,2+51.1where n1 and n2 represent the moles of the respective components and Cp,1, and Cp,2 are the heat capacities of the

Conclusions

The excess molar enthalpy HE and excess molar volumes vE of both piperidine–water and pyridine–water mixtures are negative reaching their minimum 0.55 mole fraction of water. The minimum value of HE for piperidine–water mixtures is −2.23 kJ/mol and −1.63 kJ/mol for pyridine–water mixtures. The minimum values for vE of piperidine–water mixtures (−1.7 cm3/mol) are more than twice the magnitude for those for pyridine–water mixtures (−0.7 cm3/mol).

    Thermodynamic data of liquid mixtures are utilized for testing thermodynamic models/theories, which in turn may provide various parameters that could be utilized for industrial applications. Piperidine is used as solvent (due to its mild basic properties) in the field of biochemistry and industrial processes [9,10]. Piperidine and 1-methylpiperidine are also structural elements of many pharmaceutical drugs [11,12].

    Likewise piperidine derivatives are useful as CCR5 inhibitors e.g. in the prevention or treatment of disorders mediated by interactions between chemokine receptors and their ligands. [5] Recently, we reported our results on thermodynamic properties of aqueous solutions of unsubstituted pyridine and piperidine at three different temperatures.
