The enthalpies of dilution of matrine (MAT) in pure water and aqueous sodium chloride solutions were determined by isothermal titration microcalorimetry at 298.15 K, and the corresponding homogeneous enthalpic interaction coefficients were calculated according to the modified McMillan–Mayer model. The values of enthalpic pair-wise interaction coefficients, h 2, are all positive and become more positive with increasing concentration of sodium chloride.

The dilution enthalpies of D-mannitol and D-sorbitol in aqueous sodium chloride solution at various concentrations have been determined by isothermal microcalorimetry at 298.15 K. The homogeneous enthalpic interaction coefficients over a quite large range of concentration of aqueous sodium chloride solutions have been calculated according to the excess enthalpy concept. The results show that enthalpic pairwise interaction coefficients (h 2) of D-mannitol and D-sorbitol are positive in aqueous sodium chloride solution and become more positive with increase of the concentration of sodium chloride. The results are interpreted in terms of the different conformations of the two polyols, solute-solute and solute-solvent interactions involved by solvent effects.

The two solid-state coordination reactions (1) CuAc 2 · H 2 O ( s )+2 Ala ( s )→trans- Cu ( Ala ) 2 ( s )+2 HAc ( l )+ H 2 O ( l ) (2) CuAc 2 · H 2 O ( s )+2 Gly ( s )→trans- Cu ( Gly ) 2 · H 2 O ( s )+2 HAc ( l ) have been studied by solution calorimetry. The molar dissolution enthalpies of the reactants and the products in some solvents (such as 2 mol l−1 HCl or its solutions) of these solid–solid coordination reactions have been measured by an isoperibol solution calorimeter. The standard molar formation enthalpies of [trans-Cu(Ala)2(s), 298.15 K] and [trans-Cu(Gly)2(s), 298.15 K] have been determined to be −1015.42 ± 0.06 and 1252.36 ± 0.05 kJ mol−1, respectively, from the results of the molar dissolution enthalpies and other auxiliary thermodynamic data.
