The solubilities of pyrene in methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, propanone, toluene, ethyl acetate and oxacyclopentane were determined at temperatures between 293 K and 333 K. The experimental data were correlated with the Apelblat model. The calculated values of Apelblat model were found to show a fine representation of the experimental data. Then the dissolution enthalpy and entropy of pyrene were predicted from the solubility data using van't Hoff equation. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
