Excess enthalpies of binary mixtures of <Emphasis Type="Italic">ortho</Emphasis>-, <Emphasis Type="Italic">meta</Emphasis>-, and <Emphasis Type="Italic">para</Emphasis>-structural isomers

The excess molar enthalpies of 8 binary mixtures for the o-, m-, and p-isomers of fluoroiodobenzene, fluoromethoxybenzene, bromofluorobenzene, chlorofluoro-benzene, difluorobenzene, fluoromethylbenzene, fluoronitrobenzene, and aminofluoro-benzene were measured at 298.15 K. The changes of the measured enthalpies were very small. The experimental results revealed that the isomers containing two electron-acceptor groups showed the most positive excess enthalpy change, while isomers containing both one electron donor and one electron acceptor group, such as aminofluorobenzene, showed more stable and always the most negative results.     

Excess molar enthalpies of the ternary system <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-xylene+decane+diethyl carbonate

Excess molar enthalpies of the ternary system {x ₁ p-xylene+x ₂decane+(1–x ₁–x ₂)diethyl carbonate} and the involved binary mixtures {p-xylene+(1–x)decane}, {xp-xylene+(1–x)diethyl carbonate} and {xdecane+(1–x)diethyl carbonate} have been determined at the temperature of 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure, over the whole composition range, using a Calvet microcalorimeter. The experimental excess molar enthalpies H _m ^E are positive for all the binary systems studied over the whole composition range. Excess molar enthalpy for the ternary system is positive as well, showing maximum values at x ₁=0, x ₂=0.4920, x ₃=0.5080, H _m,123 ^E=1524 J mol^–1.     

The Heterotactic Enthalpic Interaction Coefficients of <Emphasis Type="Italic">α</Emphasis>-Amino Acids with Maltose in Aqueous Solution at <Emphasis Type="Italic">T</Emphasis>=298.15 K

The mixing enthalpies of maltose with several typical α-amino acids (glycine, L-alanine, L-serine, L-valine, L-threonine and L-proline) and dilution enthalpies of each compound have been determined in aqueous solutions at T=298.15 K by a flow-mixing microcalorimeter. The heterotactic enthalpic pairwise interaction coefficients, h _xy , of each amino acid with maltose have been calculated by the McMillan–Mayer formalism, and are discussed in terms of intermolecular interactions of the hydrated solute species.

The experimental H ^E values are all positive for the binary and ternary mixtures over the entire composition range.     

Densities and Viscosities of Binary Mixtures of <Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis>-Cresol with Some Chlorohydrocarbons

Densities and viscosities of the binary mixtures of m-cresol with 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane and tetrachloroethylene were measured at 303.15, 313.15 and 323.15 K. The measured results are used to compute the excess volumes (V^E), deviations in viscosity (Δη) and excess Gibbs energy for activation of flow (ΔG^E). The excess volumes, deviations in viscosity, and Gibbs energies for activation of flow are fitted to a polynomial-type equation suggested by Scharlin et al. [J. Chem. Thermodyn. 34, 927 (2002)] and are discussed in general terms.     

Excess enthalpies of binary mixtures of <Emphasis Type="Italic">ortho</Emphasis>-, <Emphasis Type="Italic">meta</Emphasis>-, <Emphasis Type="Italic">para</Emphasis>-structural isomers containing aliphatic group

To obtain further systematic information for the isomer systems, the excess molar enthalpies for binary (o + m), (o + p), (m + p)-isomers of methoxymethylbenzene, ethylmethylbenzene, diethylbenzene, chloromethylbenzene, tolunitrile and fluorobenzonitrile, tolylacetonitrile were measured at 298.15 K. In this article, the results are discussed and compared with those of previous works. The excess enthalpies of binary systems in different solid and liquid states were measured when the pure component of o-/m-tolunitrile, fluorobenzonitrile was titrated into the prior (o + p) or (m + p) mixtures. A series calculation for the interaction energies (IE) between the isomers was carried out for the pair molecules by ab initio MO of Gaussian 09. Correlations between the excess enthalpies at a molar fraction of x = 0.5 and the intermolecular energy are discussed.     

Excess molar enthalpy of binary mixtures of hexane+ethyl benzene, <Emphasis Type="Italic">o</Emphasis>-xylene, <Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis>-xylene and <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-xylene at 298.15 K

Summary This paper reports excess molar enthalpies of the binary systems hexane+ethyl benzene, hexane+o-xylene, hexane+m-xylene and hexane+p-xylene at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure, over the whole composition range. The data was measured directly using a Calvet microcalorimeter. The excess magnitude was correlated to a Redlich-Kister type equation for each mixture. Also, we will discuss the results for the four mixtures studied here and by comparison with the same binary systems but containing propyl propanoate as first component. Finally, we will correlate our results with the Nitta-Chao and the three UNIFAC theoretical approximations.     

Standard molar enthalpies of formation and sublimation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-phenylphthalimide

The standard (p ⁰=0.1 MPa) molar enthalpy of formation, Δ_f H ⁰ _m, for crystalline N-phenylphthalimide was derived from its standard molar enthalpy of combustion, in oxygen, at the temperature 298.15 K, measured by static bomb-combustion calorimetry, as –206.0±3.4 kJ mol^–1. The standard molar enthalpy of sublimation, Δ^g _cr H ⁰ _m , at T=298.15 K, was derived, from high temperature Calvet microcalorimetry, as 121.3±1.0 kJ mol^–1. The derived standard molar enthalpy of formation, in the gaseous state, is analysed in terms of enthalpic increments and interpreted in terms of molecular structure.     

Molar Excess Volumes and Excess Isentropic Compressibilities of Ternary Mixtures Containing <Emphasis Type="Italic">o</Emphasis>-Toluidine

Molar excess volumes, V _ijk ^E, and speeds of sound, U _ijk , of o-toluidine (i) + benzene (j) + cyclohexane or n-hexane or n-heptane (k) ternary mixtures have been measured as a function of composition at 308.15 K. The observed speed of sound data have been utilized to determine the excess isentropic compressibilities, (K _S ^E) _ijk , of the ternary (i+j+k) mixtures. The Moelywn-Huggins concept (Huggins in Polymer 12: 389–399, 1971) of connectivity between the surfaces of the binary mixture constituents has been extended to ternary mixtures (using the concept of a connectivity parameter of third degree of molecules, ³ ξ, which in turn depends on its topology) to obtain an expression that describes well the measured V _ijk ^E and (K _S ^E) _ijk data. The observed data have also been analyzed in terms of Flory’s theory.     

Volumetric Properties of Ternary–Pseudobinary Mixtures [(Styrene + Ethyl Acetate or Benzene) + (<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone + Ethyl Acetate or Benzene)]

The densities of the ternary-pseudobinary mixtures [(styrene + ethyl acetate or benzene) + (N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone + ethyl acetate or benzene)], formed by adding the third component (ethyl acetate or benzene) to the binary system (styrene + ethyl acetate), have been measured as a function of composition by means of a vibrating-tube densimeter at atmospheric pressure at 298.15 K. The excess molar volumes V _m ^E were calculated from the densities and correlated using the Redlich–Kister equation to estimate the coefficients and standard errors. The experimental and calculated quantities are used to discuss the mixing behavior of the components. The results show that the third component, ethyl acetate or benzene, have quite different influences on the interaction between styrene and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone.     

Study on Inclusion Complex Formation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis>-Aminobenzoic Acid with Native and Substituted <Emphasis Type="Italic">β</Emphasis>-Cyclodextrins

The complex formation of native and substituted β-cyclodextrins with m-aminobenzoic acid in water was characterized by calorimetry, ¹H NMR and UV spectroscopic studies. These studies showed that β-, hydroxypropyl-β- and methyl-β-cyclodextrins form 1:1 inclusion complexes with m-aminobenzoic acid. The thermodynamic properties of complex formation (K,Δ_c G ^o,Δ_c H ^o,Δ_c S ^o) were calculated. It was found that the processes of complexation are mainly favorable entropically. Introduction of hydroxypropyl- and methyl-substituents into the β-CD molecule results in negligible enhancement of stability of the complexes formed. The structure of these substituents has no influence on the stability constant values. The insertion of the carboxylic group of m-aminobenzoic acid into the cyclodextrin cavity was confirmed by ¹H NMR data.     

Functionalization of sterically hindered <Emphasis Type="Italic">o</Emphasis>-benzoquinones: amino-substituted 3,6-di(<Emphasis Type="Italic">tert</Emphasis>-butyl)-<Emphasis Type="Italic">o</Emphasis>-benzoquinones

New sterically hindered functionalized o-quinones were synthesized by the 1,4-nucleophilic addition of secondary cyclic amines to 3,6-di(tert-butyl)-o-benzoquinone.

Volumetric properties of 1-iodoperfluorohexane+<Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-octane binary system at several temperatures

New densities are reported over the whole composition range for 1-iodoperfluorohexane+n-octane system at temperatures from 288.15 to 308.15 K at atmospheric pressure. These data have been used to compute the excess molar volumes, V _m ^E. Large positive V _m ^E values have been obtained over the entire range of composition, which increases when the temperature rises. The experimental data were used to calculate the isobaric thermal expansivity, and the quantities (∂V _m ^E/∂T)_p and (∂H _m ^E/∂p)_T. Furthermore, the results have been used to investigate the volumetric prediction ability of the equations of state Soave–Redlich–Kwong, Peng–Robinson, Patel–Teja and Soave–Redlich–Kwong with volume translation.     

Liquid Solution Densities of Ternary-Pseudobinary Mixtures of (Benzene + Cyclohexane) in the Presence of Tetrachloromethane or <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-Hexane

Densities have been obtained as a function of composition for ternary-pseudobinary mixtures of [(benzene + tetrachloromethane or n-hexane) + (cyclohexane + tetrachloromethane or n-hexane)] at atmospheric pressure and the temperature 298.15 K, by means of a vibrating-tube densimeter. Excess molar volumes, V_m^E, partial molar volumes and excess partial molar volumes were calculated from the density data. The values of V_m^E have been correlated using the Redlich–Kister equation and the coefficients and standard errors were estimated. The experimental and calculated quantities are used to discuss the mixing behavior of the components. The results show that the third component, CCl₄ or n-C₆H₁₄, have quite different influences on the volumetric properties of binary liquid mixtures of benzene with cyclohexane.

Host–Guest Complexation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">β</Emphasis>-, <Emphasis Type="Italic">γ</Emphasis>-Cyclodextrin with Alkyl Trimethyl Ammonium Bromides in Aqueous Solution

As a continuation of our previous investigation, interactions between cyclodextrin (β-CD), γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) and alkyl trimethylammonium bromides in aqueous solutions have been studied with titration calorimetry and ¹H NMR at 298.15 K. The results are discussed in terms of the amphiphilic interaction of CD with surfactants and the iceberg structure formed by water molecules existing around the hydrophobic tail of surfactant molecules. The stoichiometry of the β-CD–surfactant system is 1:1 whereas that of the γ-CD–surfactant system is 1:2. The corresponding formation enthalpy (negative) of the complexes of the two systems decreases with an increase in the number of carbon atoms (n) in hydrophobic chain of surfactant molecule, C _n H_2n+1, whereas the entropy increases with the enlargement of n.

Analyses of the essential oils of Bunium elegans (Fenzl) Freyn and B. caroides (Boiss.) Hausskn. ex Bornm., using GC, GC/MS, and¹³ C-NMR spectroscopy resulted in identification of their chemical constituents. The oils of both species contain mainly the sesquiterpene hydrocarbons germacrene-D and E-caryophyllene, which amounted to 24.1% and 38% for B. elegans and 22.1% and 26.6% for B. caroides respectively. The oil of B. caroides contained the monoterpenes α-pinene and Z-β-ocimene in 4.1 and 5.9% respectively, while traces of monoterpenes were detected for B. elegans. On the other hand, in B. caroides the phenylpropanoid derivatives asaricin (7.5%) and dillapiole (10.2%) were among the major constituents. __________ Published in Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 335–336, July–August, 2005.

Dimerization and Coordination Properties of Zinc(II)tetra-4-alkoxybenzoyloxiphthalocyanine in Relation to DABCO in <Emphasis Type="Italic">o</Emphasis>-Xylene and Chloroform

For the first time the interactions between zinc(II)tetra-4-alkoxybenzoyloxiphthalocyanine (Zn(4—O—CO—C₆H₄—OC₁₁H₂₃)Pc) and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) in o-xylene and chloroform have been studied by calorimetric titration and NMR and electron absorption spectroscopic methods. It has been found that in o-xylene at concentrations of Zn(4—O—CO—C₆H₄—OC₁₁H₂₃)Pc higher than 6×10⁻⁴ mol⋅L⁻¹ π–π dimers species are formed (λ _max= 685 nm). Additions of DABCO to the solution up to mole ratio 1 : 8 (Zn(4—O—CO—C₆H₄—OC₁₁H₂₃)Pc : DABCO) lead to a shift of the aggregation equilibrium towards monomer species due to formation of monoligand axial complexes. Further increasing the DABCO concentration results in formation of Zn(4—O—CO—C₆H₄—OC₁₁H₂₃)Pc—DABCO—Zn(4—O—CO—C₆H₄—OC₁₁H₂₃)Pc sandwich dimers (λ _max= 675 nm).
