RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The experimental vapor pressures were taken from Boublik et al. (1984) for the 59 compounds which constitute the data base. Using OT and B as adjustable parameters the fit gives a mean absolute percent deviation of 0.92 which is a good result if compared with those which can be obtained from a simple linear interpolation of the function In Pm’vs l/T. Moreover, while for dothere is a correlation trend with w, fi does not show a systematic pattern. Therefore, we assumed for /l the average vaiue of 1.4986 and we proceeded to a new fit using e as the only adjustable parameter. Figure 1 shows this parameter as a function of OL with o, the acentric factor taken from Reid et al. (1987). The straight line is described by the following equation: Q = - 0.23549 + 0.882260.

Table 2 gives the P-range and the AADP obtained with the Iwo equation of state for the 10 compounds not present in the data base. The results of our equation of state are better than those of the Soave equation, especially in the case of l-octanol.
CONCLUSIONS The results that the new equation
of state gives are much better than those of the Soave equation of state when two adjustable parameters are used. It has been found that parameter iz can be linearly correlated with the acentric factor. When this correlation is used in the equation of state to predict vapor pressures, we find that the AAPD is greater than when we use the two parameter fit; however, it is apparent that the prediction shows a substantial improvement over the Soave equation of state.

Estimation
of solid molar volumes using the neighboring factor with application to isumeric compounds (First received 16 October
1992; accepted
INTRODUCTION
Polycyclic aromatic compounds and heterocyclic compounds in coal liquids provide important raw materials for speciality chemicals, and the solid molar volumes of such compounds are among the fundamental data required in treatment of coal liquids. A general method to obtain the density of organic compounds is the group additivity approach. Exner (1967) estimated the densities of 870 organic liquids using this approach, while Fedors (1974) calculated the molar volumes of polymers using group parameters of liquids. Some group contribution methods and group molar volumes for rubber and glassy amorphous polymers are available in a handbook (Barton, 1988). However, these group additivity approaches give the same molar volumes for isomers, and volume parameters of crystalline compounds have not been reported. This work examines a new approach to estimate the solid molar volumes of aromatic compounds using a neighboring factor, which relates to the difference in size between two neighboring groups. THEORY Assignment of groups A monocyclic compound contains a-f groups bonded directly to a benzene ring. Each group is usually assigned
in revised form 10 March
1993)
according to one of the two concepts. Tarver (1979) assigns them to six groups, C.-a, C.-b, C.-c, C,---d, C,-e and C.-f, where C, designates an aromatic carbon atom. The other method assigns them to six substituents and benzene carbon backbone, i.e. V, - V, and F’-, where V, is the molar volume of group i and V,, is that of benzene carbon backbone. In this study, the latter method is selected. Isomers of monocyclic compound Solid molar volume usually increases with the increase of the difference in size between two neighboring groups, perhaps duo to the existence of empty space caused by the volume difference between the two substituents. This work attempts to distinguish the volume difference between isomers by introducing a new coefficient, termed the neighboring factor: Tij = I/&&. where & is the ratio of molar volume of substltuent group i to the average molar volume of two neighboring groups i and j. This factor is similar to the molecular connectivity (Kier and Hall, 1986). Based on this concept, 4 and F are given for i and j groups as follows:
vj
V, 9r = (v, + V,)/2’
&‘=(s+
