Abstrakt: Three-dimensional Quantitative Structure−Property Relationship (QSPR) models have been derived using Comparative Molecular Field Analysis (CoMFA) to correlate the vaporization enthalpies of a representative set of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) at 298.15 K with their CoMFA-calculated physicochemical properties. Various alignment schemes, such as inertial, asis, and atom fit, were employed in this study. The CoMFA models were also developed using different partial charge formalisms, namely, electrostatic potential (ESP) charges and Gasteiger−Marsili (GM) charges. The most predictive model for vaporization enthalpy (vapHm(298.15 K)), with atom fitalignment and Gasteiger−Marsili charges, yielded r2values 0.852 (cross-validated) and 0.996 (conventional). The vaporization enthalpies of PCBs increased with the number of chlorine atoms and were found to be larger for the meta- and para-substituted isomers. This model was used to predict vapHm(298.15 K) of the entire set of 209 PCB congeners.
