FUNDAMENTALS OF CHEMOMETRICS IN DIFFERENT BRANCHES OF CHEMICAL SCIENCE

Tanganov B.B.

The article shows the possibility of applying the method of multilevel modeling in evaluating the physical and chemical variables.

In Nature, as well as in the natural sciences, everything is interconnected. This regular occurrence is usually not seen, if we bear in mind two functional parameters. But multiparameter functional relationship is observed when we apply not less than three characteristics to the sought-for parameter [1, 2, 3].

In the study of the method of multilevel modeling (MMLM), which permits to carry out mathematical modeling of certain chemical processes in different environments, and also to estimate absent (scarce) characteristics in physical-chemical methods of analysis, let´s limit with the assumption that regression is linear and is determined by the following dependence:

Y = a + b1X1 + b2X2 + ...+ bnXn. (1)

If we accept that a number of arguments is equal to two, then in terms of geometry, this equation defines the plane in the space of variables X1, X2 and Y.

To determine parameters a, b1, ... bn in equation (1) let´s apply the method of least squares. After differentiation according to the variable parameters this method leads to the system:

Σy = na + b1ΣX1 + ... + bnΣXn ; (2-a)

ΣyX1 = aΣX1 + b1ΣX12 + ... + bnΣX1X2...Xn ; (2-b)

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

ΣyXn = aΣXn + b1ΣX1X2 + ... + bnΣXn2. (2-c)

To solve this system we divide equation (2-a) to n, then we obtain:

a = yav - b1X1(av) - b2X2(av) - ... - bnXn(av).

Substituting this value for а in formula (1) and equation (2-b) and (2-c), we find out that the formula MMLM with n variables has the following form:

Y-yav = b1(X1-X1(av))  + b2(X2 - X2(av) ) + ... +
+ bn(Xn - Xn(av) ), (3)

the coefficients b1, b2, ..., bn are found from the following system of linear equations:

b1Σx12 + b2Σx1x2 + ...+ bnΣx1xn = Σx1y1 ;

b1Σx1x2 + b2Σx22 + ...+ bnΣx2xn = Σx2y2 ;

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

b1Σx1xn + b2Σx2xn + ... + bnΣxn2 = Σxnyn ,

where the following conventional signs are adopted:

Σx12 = Σ(X1 - X1(av) );

Σx1x2 = Σ(X1 - X1(av) )(X2 - X2(av)) ;

Σx1xn = Σ(X1 - X1(av) )(Xn - Xn(av) );

Σx1y1 = Σ(X1 - X1(av) )(Y1 - Y1(av) ); и т.д.

Let´s point out the important physical meaning of MMLM coefficients. For example, the coefficient b1 in equation (3) respond to the question, how many units varies Y1, if X1 changes by one unit on the assumption that X2 retains a constant value.

Thus, the MMLM formula can eliminate the influence of factor X2, bound with the factor of X1 on Y in its pure form.

The problem of various characteristics optimizing of all sorts of systems becomes relevant in connection with the intensive development of the theory and practice of electrolyte solutions, physical and chemical methods of research, the development of modern methods of processing the experimental results. For example, parameters for the method of pair correlations in comparative calculations of physical-chemical properties of substances (e.g., concentration is in the functional dependence of analytical signal) in most cases are poorly known and considerably scatter or non-existent. That problem hinders their choice for a variety of assessment operations.

A common reliable regular occurrence, linking changes in various properties of complex compounds in a solvent, hasn´t been found so far, as well as the quantitative relationships between the major, basic, physical-chemical properties and various derivative properties of complex compounds in various media.

Derivation of multiple linkages and interdependence of properties and their changes for solvents, including water and electrolyte solutions is possible with deliberate and clear choice of benchmarks and with properly determined values of physical and chemical key properties of the studied systems [4].

Depending on whether a system (herein solvent) exchanges with the environment in matter and energy, it is thermodynamically isolated, closed or open and respectively is characterized by the microcanonical, canonical or macrocanonical Gibbs´s distributions. This basis must be sufficiently complete and contain at least four parameters: thermochemical, electrical, kinetic and structural parameters. Their usefulness follows from the correspondence of solvent molecules to statistical Gibbs´s ensembles with the main role of internal and external parameters:

ξ = Φ (а1, а2, ..., Т),

where ξ is an internal parameter, а1, а2, ...,Т is an external parameter.

1. It is known that if the system (herein solvent) is in equilibrium conditions without exchange with the macroscopic environment, or environment in matter and energy, it is thermodynamically isolated. In these conditions, its characteristics are determined by the parameters of the internal structure, i.e. by the length and coupling constant, atom´s masses, the number of electrons, etc.

2. If the system communicates with the environment only by energy, it is thermodynamically closed. The process can be described by thermochemical parameters of constant number of particles.

3. In case the system exchanges with the macroscopic environment both with energy and matter, the system is thermodynamically open, the number of particles in the system is variable. In such a situation the number of particles may change, to a first approximation, by the forces of electromagnetic origin, which determine the appropriate response of the electromagnetic characteristics of the investigated system.

4. Any movement of bodies at a certain speed in the condensed phase generates dissipative processes, mainly characterized by kinetic parameters: viscosity, diffusion, thermal conductivity or other parameters.

Theoretically modulating the processes of measurement, i.e. interaction between a system and a device, it is necessary to take into account all the situations observed above. This idea is the basis for the evaluation of dissociation constants of electrolytes in the studied solvents рК, the radii of solvent molecules Rs, the energies of intermolecular interactions in pure solvents ΔН and other physical and chemical characteristics of solvents and non-aqueous electrolyte solutions.

Table presents the data obtained from the thermodynamic constants of dissociation of hydrochloric acid, the titrant, in analytical chemistry рКHCl. Its systematic values, such basic properties of the solvent as a boiling point Т, density ρ, viscosity h, a dipole moment of solvent molecule р, a molar mass of solvent М, an amount of bond lengths ΣL⋅108 cm, the radius of the solvent molecule Rs⋅108 cm and autoprotolysis constants (ionic product) of solvent pKs are absent.

The program «MMLM» leads to the equation

рКHCl = - 0,03220·T - 5,08662·ρ + 0,52392·η + 2,71678·p - 0,05334·M +
+ 0,40049·ΣL + 3,40571·Rs - 0,07179·pKs + 6,70942. (4)

multilevel factor (multidimentional) of modeling is KММLМ = 0,9741.

As it will be shown further, all the members of the right part of the equation have dimension mol/dm3. Dimension in other cases of MMLM (like identifying the dimension рКHCl) are defined similarly.

The dimensional coefficients in MMLM, for example, in the same equation (4), can be obtained by solving the system of normal equations:

f 

for a, b1, b2,... b8, where i is a number of variables (herein the number of solvents); Xi1 = Tboiling; Xi2 is a solvent density ρ, g/сm3 ; Xi3 is viscosity of the solvent η, сПз; Xi4 is a dipole moment of solvent molecule рi, D; Хi5 is a molar mass of solvent М, g/mol, Хi6 is an amount of bond lengths ΣL·108 cm, Хi7 is a radius of the solvent molecules Rs·108 cm, Хi8 is an indicator of autoprotolysis constants (ionic product) solvent pKs, yav, X1(av) , X2(av) , X3(av) ... X8(av) is an arithmetic functions (mathematical expectation) of the relevant parameters with the number of variables i. We obtain the following factors and their dimensions:

b1 = - 0,03220 mol/dm3⋅К; b2 = - 5,08662 mol/kg;

b3 = 0,52392 mol/dm3⋅сП;

b4 = 2,71678 mol/dm3⋅D; b5 = -0,05334 mol2/kg,

b6 = 0,40049 mol/dm2, b7 = 3,40571 mol/dm2,

b8 = -0,07179 mol2/dm6 and а = 6,70942 mol/dm3.

Notes: 1 - water, 2 - methanol, 3 - ethanol, 4 - propanol, 5 - butanol, 6 - pentanol, 7 - acetone, 8 - methylethylketone, 9 - metilpropilketon, 10 - metilbutilketon, 11 - dimethylformamide, 12 - dimethylacetamide, 13 - hexamethylphosphotriamide, 14 - dimethylsulfoxide, 15 - tetrametilensulfon, 16 - metilpirrolidon, 17 - acetonitrile, 18 - propylene carbonate.

Thus, when applying heterogeneous units of initial parameters Xi1, Xi2 , Xi3 , ..., Xi8 and equations of the method of multilevel modeling

yi = yav+ b1(Xi1 - X1(av) ) + b2(Xi2 - X2(av) ) +
+ b3(Xi3 - Xi3(av) ) +...+ b8(Xi8 - Х8(av) )

units of measure and dimensional ratios yi in mol/dm3 for the thermodynamic constants of dissociation of hydrochloric acid рКHCl are obtained. The coefficient method of multilevel modeling KMMLM is introduced to assess the ties between variables. It is defined by the formula:

KMMLM2 = S(Yi - Yav)2 / Σ(yi - yav)2,

where yi is the variable Y, taken from the correlation table 1 (reference value), and Yi is the variable Y, calculated from the equation MMLM (4).

MMLM gains an evident advantage over the method of pair correlations. It is obviously seen when comparing the coefficients of multiple regression КMMLM and pair correlations Кpc. The ratio КMMLM of such basic parameters as Tboiling, ρ, η, р, М, ΣL·108, Rs·108 and pKs by equation (4) for water, alcohols, ketons and other solvents is equal to 0.9741, while coefficients of pair correlations рКHCl - Т, рКHCl - ρ, рКHCl - η, рКHCl - р, рКHCl - М, рКHCl - ΣL, рКHCl - Rs, рКHCl - pKs are respectively: 0,0012; 0,0009; 0,0083; 0,1668; 0,00003; 0,15020 and 0,3713 which is considerably less than 0,9741.

Thus, using as a benchmark the thermochemical (boiling point, molar heat of vaporization, etc.) and kinetic (viscosity, etc.), electrical (dipole moment, etc.) properties and molecular characteristics (the sum of the lengths of chemical bonds in the molecule of solvent etc.) which are easily identified reference values, gives a satisfactory equivalence between the estimated values MMLM with real experimental values, regardless to the nature and class of substances. The method of multilevel (multidimensional) modeling permits to solve numerous problems in the absence of important characteristics in different branches of chemical science and technology.
