Solubility data were determined for isonicotinamide in water, ethanol, 2-propanol, n-butanol, 2-butanol, ethyl acetate and butyl acetate from 298.15 to 323.15 K with a static analytic method. The Van't Hoff equation, modified Apelblat equation, lambda h (Buchowski) equation and two local composition models (NRTL and UNIQUAC) were used to correlate the solubility data, and modified Apelblat equation shows the best agreement among all the five models. Besides, differential scanning calorimetry were used to determine the crystal forms crystallized in the seven solvents and obtain the melting temperature T-m and fusion enthalpy Delta H-fus(m). Furthermore, the activity coefficients of isonicotinamide and mixing Gibbs free energies, enthalpies, and entropies of the solutions were predicted. All solutions studied exhibit high non-ideality, indicating the important role of homo-molecules interactions for solubility behavior. The dissolution enthalpies and entropies were also estimated in this work. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
