A new compound that is available for purchase to inhibit the particular target which have no literature regarding its physical properties, how will I calculated its melting or boling point for further formulation?
Determining the melting or boiling point of a chemical in powder form typically involves using a technique such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) or melting point apparatus. In the case of DSC, the powdered sample is heated at a controlled rate, and the energy required to maintain the sample at the same temperature as a reference is measured to detect any phase transitions, such as melting or boiling. For the melting point, a small amount of powder is placed in a capillary tube, which is then inserted into a melting point apparatus, where the temperature is gradually increased until the sample melts. Both methods require careful handling to ensure accurate results.
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), optical observation under temperature control, gas chromatography, resistance measurement under precise temperature control, and X-ray diffraction can all be used to measure melting points.
The boiling point can be measured using the distillation method, which involves heating to boil and collecting fractions through a condenser. The boiling point is determined by observing the temperature of the distillate when it stabilizes.
