Abstract
The solubilities of o-, m- and p-iodo- and fluorobenzoic acids in aqueous solutions of caffeine increase linearly with caffeine concentration due to complex-formation. Insoluble complexes are formed by the o- and m-acids and soluble ones by the p-acids. Approximate 1:1 stability constants have been evaluated from the phase diagrams and their values are considered in relation to possible mechanisms of complex-formation.
