In order to realize quantitative elucidation, as well as simulate complex f
ormation at the liquid-liquid interface. 8-Sulfonamidoquinolines (C(n)phSAQ
) were calculated by both a semi-empirical molecular orbital method conside
ring solvent effect, and molecular dynamics at the water toluene interface.
The MD calculations support the fact that interfacial area occupied by a m
olecule (ca. 60 A(2)) obtained by the measurement of interfacial equilibriu
m of C(n)phSAQ is consistent with projected area of sulfonamidoquinoline mo
iety. Furthermore, examination of the quantitative structure property relat
ionship (QSPR) between energy difference in interfacial adsorption and inte
rfacial adsorption equilibrium constant can obtain good linear correlation.
