A significant synergistic effect is observed when solubilizing curcumin or tetrahydrocurcumin in binary mixtures of ethanol and triacetin. The present work deals with a detailed investigation of the solvent system by means of COSMO-RS-based calculations, dynamic light scattering, small-and-wide-angle X-ray scattering, and dielectric relaxation spectroscopy. Theoretical calculations lead to the conclusion that the enhanced solubility is not primarily the result of an interaction optimum between individual surface charge densities. Scattering experiments also exclude the formation of mesoscopic structures as the main reason. However, dielectric relaxation spectra suggest that in the concentration range of 0.3 ≤ x(triacetin) ≤ 0.6, ethanol molecules are released from their living polymer ethanol network and can interact with triacetin on a molecular level. The mesoscopic aggregation, thus, decreases. The concentration range of the ethanol–triacetin complexes has a significant overlap with the range of maximum solubility of (tetrahydro)curcumin. Nevertheless, despite detailed investigations, the exact origin of the solubilization power of the solvent remains speculative.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
