Abstract
Spectroscopic studies of the compound 2-nitroanisole in supercritical fluids CO2 and N2O show that π* values vary linearly with density. The solubility trends in these single component supercritical fluid solvents qualitatively followed the trends in solvent power predicted from π*. However, the relative solvent power predicted for CO2 and N2O based on π* resulted in an opposite order to what was determined experimentally through solubility measurements. The π* parameter may be of some use for solubility prediction if only a limited set of solute–solvent systems are considered. Measurements of π*, especially those in binary supercritical fluid solvents, suggest that π* could be a valuable tool for probing the solute-organized cybotactic region.
