Solubility of Carbon Dioxide, Krypton, and Xenon in Lipids

https://doi.org/10.1002/jps.2600520511Get rights and content

The solubility of carbon dioxide, krypton, and xenon has been measured at one atmospheric pressure and at temperatures of 25, 30, 37, and 45° in olive oil, dog fat, human fats, and rat-pooled fat. The solubility of the gases studied in the oil and fats was found to decrease as the temperatures increased. Heats and entropies of solution have been calculated from linear dependencies of logarithm of the solubility with reciprocal absolute temperature. There seems to be a linear relationship between solubility, surface tension, and viscosity of the lipids.

      The binding of xenon to various molecules via weak van der Waals (vdW) interactions is expected due to its large polarizability. The binding of Xe by organic materials such as lipids or proteins (e.g. hemoglobin) has been observed decades ago [8,9] and there is renewed interest in the binding by porous materials [10⿿13]. An interesting question is why Xe binds preferentially to specific molecular units via non-directional interactions.
