Heats of solution of triethylamine, aniline, pyridine, and model compounds (3-ethylpentane, benzene) in 17 organic solvents (n-heptane, cyclohexane, carbon tetrachloride, 1,2-dichloroethane, α,α,α-trifluorotoluene, triethylamine, butyl ether, ethyl acetate, dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, benzene, toluene, mesitylene, t-butyl alcohol, 1-octanol, methanol, 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol) have been combined with solute heats of vaporization to give enthalpies of transfer from vapor to solvent (ΔH(v → s)). Differences between solute and model values (ΔΔH(v → s) = ΔH(v → s) (solute) – ΔH(v → s) (model)) were used to evaluate nitrogen base solute–solvent polar interactions. Correlations of ΔΔH(v → s) with Taft–Kamlet solvatochromic parameters (π*, α, β) have been determined.Aniline was found to be a better hydrogen bond donor acid than hydrogen bond acceptor base. Nevertheless, alcohols donate H-bonds to aniline. Triethylamine and pyridine are stronger HBA bases than aniline. The π* (dipolarity–polarizability) parameter of aniline (as a solute) is calculated to be 1.10.

Enthalpies of solution (ΔHs) of 1-octanol and five model compounds (di-n-butyl ether, n-heptyl methyl ether, 1-fluoro-octane, 1-chlorooctane, and n-octane) have been determined in 13 solvents (heptane, cyclohexane, CCl4, 1,1,1-trichloro-ethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, triethylamine, butyl ether, ethyl acetate, DMF, DMSO, benzene, toluene, mesitylene), and combined with heats of vaporization to give enthalpies of transfer from vapor to solvent (ΔH(v → S)). These values have been used to calculate the enthalpy of hydrogen bond formation (ΔHh) of 1-octanol with each solvent, using the pure base (PB), solvation enthalpy (SE), and non-hydrogen-bonding baseline (NHBB) methods. Evidence is presented suggesting that (a) the SE method is susceptible to mismatches of the 1-octanol vs. model polar and dispersion interactions, (b) the PB method is sensitive to polar interaction mismatches, whereas (c) the NHBB method compensates for both polar and dispersion interactions mismatches. The (apparent) ΔHh values determined by the SE and PB methods may be as much as several kcal/mol (nearly 50%) too large, because of the inclusion of other polar and dispersion interactions. The NHBB method is therefore preferred for determining enthalpies of H-bond formation from calorimetric data. However, apparent ΔHh values from the SE and PB methods can be incorporated into total solvatochromic equations using Taft–Kamiet π*, β, and ξ parameters, to provide enthalpies of H-bond formation in good agreement with ΔHh (NHBB).

The aim of this communication is to provide preliminary results on MTBE monitoring, and at the same time to propose some new tracers of gasoline pollution in groundwater. An overview is presented on benzene-toluene-ethylbenzene-xylene (BTEX), methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE), and dicyclopentadienes (DCPD) contents in gasoline formulations. Their specific fate in gasoline-contaminated aquifers are consistent with their physical-chemical properties.

ABSTRACT Two strains, identified as Rhodococcus wratislaviensis IFP 2016 and Rhodococcus aetherivorans IFP 2017, were isolated from a microbial consortium that degraded 15 petroleum compounds or additives when provided in a mixture containing 16 compounds (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, m-xylene, p-xylene, o-xylene, octane, hexadecane, 2,2,4-trimethylpentane [isooctane], cyclohexane, cyclohexanol, naphthalene, methyl tert-butyl ether [MTBE], ethyl tert-butyl ether [ETBE], tert-butyl alcohol [TBA], and 2-ethylhexyl nitrate [2-EHN]). The strains had broad degradation capacities toward the compounds, including the more recalcitrant ones, MTBE, ETBE, isooctane, cyclohexane, and 2-EHN. R. wratislaviensis IFP 2016 degraded and mineralized to different extents 11 of the compounds when provided individually, sometimes requiring 2,2,4,4,6,8,8-heptamethylnonane (HMN) as a cosolvent. R. aetherivorans IFP 2017 degraded a reduced spectrum of substrates. The coculture of the two strains degraded completely 13 compounds, isooctane and 2-EHN were partially degraded (30% and 73%, respectively), and only TBA was not degraded. Significant MTBE and ETBE degradation rates, 14.3 and 116.1 μmol of ether degraded h−1 g−1 (dry weight), respectively, were measured for R. aetherivorans IFP 2017. The presence of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEXs) had a detrimental effect on ETBE and MTBE biodegradation, whereas octane had a positive effect on the MTBE biodegradation by R. wratislaviensis IFP 2016. BTEXs had either beneficial or detrimental effects on their own degradation by R. wratislaviensis IFP 2016. Potential genes involved in hydrocarbon degradation in the two strains were identified and partially sequenced.
