Abstract

In this work, the solubility of vanillic, gallic, syringic, p-coumaric, ferulic and caffeic acids was determined at 37 °C under different conditions, namely pure water and two different ionic media, NaCl(aq) and NaClO4(aq), at different ionic strengths (i.e., 0.16, 0.50, 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 M). The solubility in water of all the acids was found to be higher than that in both of the ionic media. Moreover, the solubility of hydroxycinnamic acids was lower than that of hydroxybenzoic acids. The activity coefficients of neutral species were calculated from these data; this knowledge is necessary when modeling the dependence of equilibrium constants on the ionic strength. Results obtained in this work can be useful for further studies regarding complex formation equilibria between these ligands and bioavailable metal cations.
