Abstract

A perturbed hard fluid (PHF) analysis was used to extract cavity formation and cohesive contributions to isomerization reactions in the liquid state. This was done by comparing global thermodynamic predictions with pressure and temperature dependent experimental results for the isomerization of 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) and trans-1,2-dichlorocyclohexane (T12D) dissolved in diethyl ether. Overall, the results suggest that cavity formation thermodynamics may be reasonably predicted either by assuming a spherical (SA) or nospherical (EVA) cavity shape.
