Abstract

The aim of this study is to provide a simple means of estimating the total entropy of melting (ΔS_m^tot) for a wide range of pharmaceutically and environmentally relevant organic compounds. A semiempirical equation based on only 2 molecular descriptors, the rotational symmetry number(σ) and the molecular flexibility number (Φ), has been used to calculate ΔS_m^tot for 1799 organic compounds. The average absolute error in estimating ΔS_m^tot is 12.3 J/K·mol. This method gives entropy predictions that are comparable to those of a recently published group additivity method that utilizes 144 group contribution values.
