19

equilibrium. The experimental estimation of partition coefficients in a complex system can be an

20

expensive, difficult and time-consuming process. Here, a computational strategy is presented to

21

predict the distribution of a set of solutes in two relevant phase equilibria. The octanol/water and

22

octanol/air partition coefficients are predicted for a group of polar solvents using density functional

23

calculations in combination with a solvation model based on density (SMD) and are in excellent

24

agreement with experimental data. Thus, the use of quantum chemical calculations to predict

25

partition coefficients from free energies should be a valuable alternative for unknown solvents.

26

The obtained results indicate that the SMD continuum model in conjunction with any of the three

27

DFT functionals (B3LYP, M06-2X and M11) agrees with the observed experimental values. The

28

highest correlation to experimental data for the octanol/water partition coefficients was reached by

29

the M11 functional; for the octanol/air partition coefficient, the M06-2X functional yielded the

30

best performance. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first computational approach for the

INTRODUCTION

34

Physical properties of molecules can be used, for example, to make predictions about the

35

environmental fate of unknown solvents. The lack of physical property data may be resolved by

36

the development of different computational methodologies for the prediction of the appropriate

37

physicochemical properties. In particular, a variety of methods have been developed to predict

38

partition coefficients from a chemical structure.1-9 One of the most important prediction methods

39

is based on the quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR).10-12 Various algorithms and

40

online platforms based on QSPR, such as AlogPs, ADMET predictor, and ACD/logD, have been

41

developed. The main approach of these methods is based on finding the appropriate set of

42

molecular descriptors that allow the precise reproduction of a given physical property using a large

43

database of available experimental data. Accurate QSPR models are obtained when this method is

44

applied to molecules that resemble the ones in the database used to build the model. Thus, the

45

weakness of QSPR models is related to the prediction of properties of molecules that vary slightly

46

from those used in the database.13-15

47

Alternatively, partition coefficients can be predicted by taking into account that this property is

48

related to the free energy difference of a solute in different solvents. In the work of Bannan et al.16,

49

the computational scheme that was used consisted of molecular dynamics simulations with explicit

50

solvent molecules to obtain transfer free energies between the solvents, which in turn were used

51

to calculate their partition coefficients. The partition coefficients between octanol/water and

52

cyclohexane/water were obtained using the generalized AMBER force field (GAFF) and the

53

dielectric corrected GAFF (GAFF-DC).

54

Jones et al. used ab initio calculations to predict the cyclohexane/water partition coefficient for a

55

set of 53 compounds. The free energy of transfer was calculated with several DFT functionals in

56

combination with the solvation model based on density implicit solvation model, obtaining a good

57

estimation.17 Rayne et al. computed air-water partition coefficients for a dataset of 86 large

58

polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and their unsaturated relatives by means of high-level theory

59

G4(MP2) gas and aqueous phase calculations with the SMD, integral equation formalism variant

60

(IEFPCM-UFF), and conductor-like polarizable continuum model (CPCM) solvation models.18

61

The results of the three solvation models for a range of neutral and ionic compounds show accurate

62

air/water partition coefficients (Kaw). Better accuracy is obtained when using higher levels of

63

theory.

64

In the work of Michalik19, the octanol/water partition coefficients for 27 alkane alcohols were

65

predicted by quantum chemical calculations with three solvation models. The results were in rather

66

good agreement with the corresponding experimental values. When comparing their results with

67

other implicit solvent models (IEF-PCM or C-PCM), the authors observed deviation of the

68

linearity. This mixed quantum (DFT) – QSPR analysis has been recently implemented successfully

69

in the prediction of pKa values for carboxylic acids.20

70

In the present work, the prediction of octanol/water and air/water partition coefficients of a set of

71

55 organic solvents was carried out by means of DFT calculations. Solvation free energies were

72

computed at the DFT levels of theory to estimate the partition coefficients. Good correlation

73

coefficients were obtained between the calculated and experimentally measured values.

DATASET:

76

The dataset consisted of 55 molecules that were selected by a previous study.21 In that study, 150

77

solvents were clustered on the basis of physicochemical properties—melting and boiling points,

78

density, water solubility, vapor pressure, Henry’s law constant, logP, logKoa and surface tension.

79

Molecules included in the present study belong to polar or nonpolar groups. The experimental

80

values for the octanol/water and air/water partition coefficients are presented in Supporting

81

information - S1. The majority of these 55 molecules have been considered to be green solvents

82

in various literature reports.21 Some of the included molecules, such as ether-alcohols, are poorly

83

characterized in terms of their hazards or physicochemical properties.22

COMPUTATIONAL METHODS

86

All calculations presented in this work were performed using the Gaussian 09 quantum chemistry

87

package.23 Molecular structures were generated in the more extended conformation using

88

GaussView 5.0. 24

89

Geometries of all 55 molecules were optimized with three levels of theory using M06-2X 24, M1126

90

and B3LYP27, with the 6-311+G** basis set using the continuum solvation model based on density,

91

SMD28. Hessian analysis indicated no existence of imaginary frequencies, proving that all

92

optimized structures were true minima. SMD can be used as a universal solvation model because

93

it can be applied to any charged or uncharged solute in any type of solvent. The parameters required

94

for the solvent are the dielectric constant, refractive index, bulk surface tension, and acidity and

basicity parameters. This model divides the solvation free energy into two main contributions—

96

the bulk electrostatic contribution and the cavity dispersion contribution.

97

To calculate the octanol/water partition coefficient, the obtained SMD free energies in both

98

solvents at 298.15 K were used to calculate the standard free energy associated with the transfer

99

of the solute from the aqueous phase (w) to octanol (o):

Δ𝐺0𝑜 𝑤 = Δ𝐺0𝑜 ― Δ𝐺0𝑤 (1) The octanol/water partition coefficient was then calculated according to ΔG0o w

102

log𝑃𝑜 𝑤 = ― 2.303𝑅𝑇 (2)

103

To calculate the octanol/air partition coefficient, Po/a, the SMD solvation free energy in octanol

104

was obtained from the free energies of the molecule in gas phase and in octanol:

Notably, a high linear correlation was obtained with the functional M11 for the LogP values. The

126

statistical variety of error metrics were calculated to compare the calculated LogP and logKoa,

127

values (illustrated in Tables 1 and 2) to the experimentally determined measures using root-mean-

128

squared error (RMSE), Pearson’s correlation coefficient (R), mean absolute deviation (MAD),

129

mean square error (MSE) and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), along with standard errors.

130

The assumed outliers observed in the first data assessment (Supporting Information – 2) were

131

eliminated in the next level of linear regression by applying the 4-sigma rule30 for the detection of

132

outliers. Extremely large and extremely small values for both coefficients were observed in our

133

data. The 4-sigma region represents 99.99% of the values for a normal distribution and 97% for

134

symmetric unimodal distributions. In our case, the outliers were adequately identified and

135

excluded from further statistical treatment of the dataset. New plots were established and are

136

presented below.

137

These metrics allow us to make meaningful comparisons between experimental and calculated

138

data with the SMD solvent model and the three functionals. As previously mentioned, the best

139

results were obtained with the M11 functional with a RMSE of 0.72 and a Pearson’s correlation

140

coefficient (R) of 0.99.

141

The obtained statistics show a good accuracy of the computed partition coefficients when applying

142

the M11 functional. In general, the sign of the calculated and experimental data were in agreement.

143

Positive values indicate a preference for the organic phase, and negative values indicate a

144

preference for the aqueous phase. For DFT-based SMD solvation models, this approach appears

145

to be appropriate for obtaining good correlations with the experimental measurements in the

146

calculation of logP. Presumably, the accuracy of the results is due to the appropriated

147

parametrization of the SMD solvation model to yield accurate solvation free energies.

partitioning, and the proposed computational scheme can be applied to other unknown solvents.

194

For the other functionals, the obtained results also indicate that the approach is valid.

195

In all calculations, a single conformation (the more extended conformation) was used for each

196

molecule in each phase. Although this conformation was verified to be a minimum in the gas phase

197

and in both solvents, it is possible that multiple conformations in the gas and/or solvents should be

198

taken into account to obtain accurate descriptions.

CONCLUSIONS

201

The accuracy of predicted partition coefficients, octanol/water and octanol/air were estimated

202

within the framework of DFT, with three functionals represented by B3LYP, and two popular (but

203

different) meta-GGA Minnesota functionals, M06-2X and M11. The best correlation with the

204

experiment data was achieved with the M11 and M06-2X functionals. The quality of the regression

205

model was significantly improved after excluding points that were defined as outliers. Thus, this

206

computational protocol could be used as a tool for newly synthesized solvents where there is a lack

207

of data regarding the octanol/water and octanol/air partition coefficients. The methodology is

208

useful for predicting missing data for envirometrics data interpretation and modeling.
