Non-aqueous solubilities
It's pretty easy to find solubility information on many common compounds in water. It's tougher to find information on solubilities in other
solvents. I'd love to have extensive solubility information for substances in ethanol, DMSO, and chloroform. Are there any large collections of
reference information dealing with solubilities in substances other than water? Online sources would be fantastic, but actual books would be fine too
if they aren't super-rare.
I've found, for example, that chloroform and water both readily mix with DMSO, but olive oil doesn't. My simple intuitions fail me!

CRC has solubilities or everything imaginable plus some more in Acetone, and Ethanol the last time I checked. Benzene, TetraChloroMethane, and Ether
I think too. I remember there being more than just Acetone and alcohol, the the specifics escape me.
http://home.primus.com.au/royellis/solchart.htm This site gives some things in Alcohol, but don't get your hopes up for a ton of things.
http://www.rhodium.ws/pdf/solvent.miscibility.pdf This does it with solvents. The table is pretty common I think.

Does anyone want to compile a table? There are quite a few solubilities that I've been wondering about, I can measure them to the best of my
abilities when the time comes to experiment with them this summer. And I'm sure other members of this board might measure a solubility or two
during their experiments. It might be neat to put in on a community solubility table. At my library I've got books full of solubilites, but for
non-aqueous solvents it usually only lists a few (acetone, methanol, ethanol, etc.) and it only lists those for very common chems. like NaCl and
NaNO3.
I did an amazon.com search and didn't turn up any interesting books, however with the 'look inside feature' I found references to other
books.
L. Scheflan and M. B. Jacobs, The Handbook of Solvents, D. Van Nostrand, New York, 1953
J. J. Lagowski, Ed., The Chemistry of Non-Aqueous Solvents, Vols. 1, 2, and 3, Academic Press, New York, 1966, 1967, and 1970
T. C. Waddington, Non-Aqueous Solvent Systems, Academic Press, New York, 1965
I. Mellan, Handbook of Solvents, Vol. 1, Reinhold Publishing Corp., New York, 1957
Organic Solvents, 2nd ed., Volume VII of Technique of Organic Chemistry, Interscience, New York, 1955
I'm not sure if any of them are what I would be looking for, in terms of table listing solubilities of compounds in non-aqueous mediums, but
it's a place to start.
