Thermochemical study of 2- and 3-alkyl substituted thiophenes

The standard (p ⁰=0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation, in the condensed phase, of nine linear-alkyl substituted thiophenes, six in position 2- and three in position 3-, at T=298.15 K, were derived from the standard massic energies of combustion, in oxygen, to yield CO₂(g) and H₂SO₄·115H₂O(aq), measured by rotating-bomb combustion calorimetry. The standard molar enthalpies of vaporization of these compounds were measured by high temperature Calvet Microcalorimetry, so their standard molar enthalpies of formation, in the gaseous phase, were derived. The results are discussed in terms of structural contributions to the energetics of the alkyl-substituted thiophenes, and empirical correlations are suggested for the estimation of the standard molar enthalpies of formation, at T=298.15 K, for 2- and 3-alkyl-substituted thiophenes, both in the condensed and in the gaseous phases.     

Thermochemical Study of the Cyanophenol Isomers

The standard (p° = 0.1MPa) molar enthalpies of formation for 2-, 3- and 4-cyanophenol in the gaseous phase were derived from the standard molar enthalpies of combustion in oxygen at T = 298.15 K, measured by static bomb combustion calorimetry, and the standard molar enthalpies of sublimation at 298.15 K, measured by Calvet microcalorimetry: 2-cyanophenol, (32.8 ± 2.1) kJ-mol^–1; 3-cyanophenol, (37.8 ± 2.2) kJ-mol^–1; 4-cyanophenol, (35.1 ± 2.5)-kJ-mol^–1. Ab initio geometry optimizations of the three cyanophenols and respective phenoxyl radicals and phenoxide anions were performed using the 6-31G* basis sets. Single-point MP2 and DFT energy calculations allowed the estimation of the enthalpies of formation in the gaseous phase, the O—H bond dissociation energies, and the gas-phase acidities of the three cyanophenols. The theoretical results are generally in good agreement with the experimental findings.     

Standard enthalpy of formation of 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid

The energy of combustion of crystalline 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid in oxygen at T=298.15 K was determined to be -4795.9±1.3 kJ mol^-1 using combustion calorimetry.

The standard (p ^o=0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of combustion atT=298.15 K were measured by static bomb combustion calorimetry for liquidN,N-diethylaniline,N,N-dimethyl-m-toluidine,N,N-dimethyl-p-toluidine, andN-ethyl-m-toluidine. Vaporization enthalpies forN,N-dimethyl-m-toluidine andN-ethyl-m-toluidine were determined by correlation gas chromatography. Derived standard molar values of _f H _m ^o (g) at 298.15 K forN,N-diethylaniline (62.1±7.6);N,N-dimethyl-m-toluidine (72.6±7.3),N,N-dimentyl-p-toluidine (68.9±7.4),N-ethyl-m-toluidine (30.5±3.8 kJ· mol^–1) were obtained.     

Excess heat capacities at T=298.15 K and excess enthalpies at T=293.15 and 298.15 K of aqueous solution of 2-methoxyethanol

Excess isobaric heat capacities of mixture (2-methoxyethanol+water) were measured at T=298.15 K and excess enthalpies at T=293.15 and 298.15 K. Excess enthalpies were extremely exothermic, up to -1290 J mol^-1 atT=293.15 K and -1240 J mol^-1 at T=298.15 K. Excess isobaric heat capacities were positive and very large, approximately 9 J K^-1 mol^-1 at the maximum. In contrast to the data reported by Page and coworkers, the excess heat capacity data were positive in the entire composition range and there was no change in their signs. Consistently, no crossing was found between the curves of excess enthalpies at T=298.15 and 293.15 K. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Standard molar enthalpies of formation of 2-, 3- and 4-cyanobenzoic acids

The standard (p = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation of 2-, 3- and 4-cyanobenzoic acids were derived from their standard molar energies of combustion, in oxygen, at T = 298.15 K, measured by static bomb combustion calorimetry. The Calvet high temperature vacuum sublimation technique was used to measure the enthalpies of sublimation of 2- and 3-cyanobenzoic acids. The standard molar enthalpies of formation of the three compounds, in the gaseous phase, at T = 298.15 K, have been derived from the corresponding standard molar enthalpies of formation in the condensed phase and standard molar enthalpies for phase transition. The results obtained are −(150.7 ± 2.0) kJ · mol⁻¹, −(153.6 ± 1.7) kJ · mol⁻¹ and −(157.1 ± 1.4) kJ · mol⁻¹ for 2-cyano, 3-cyano and 4-cyanobenzoic acids, respectively. Standard molar enthalpies of formation were also estimated by employing two different methodologies: one based on the Cox scheme and the other one based on several different computational approaches. The calculated values show a good agreement with the experimental values obtained in this work.

The standard molar enthalpies of vaporization _l ^g H _m ^º of 2,5-dimethylfuran, 2-tert-butylfuran, 2,5-di-tert-butylfuran, cyclopentenyl methyl ether, cyclohexenyl methyl ether, and tert-amyl methyl ether were obtained from the temperature variation of the vapor pressure measured in a flow system. The standard (p° = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation _f H _m ^º (1) at the temperature T = 298.15 K were measured using combustion calorimetry for 2,5-dimethylfuran, 2-tert-butylfuran, and 2,5-di-tert-butylfuran. From the derived standard molar enthalpies of formation for gaseous compounds, ring correction terms and non-nearest neighbor interactions useful in the application of the Benson group additivity scheme were calculated.

The standard (p° = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation, in the crystalline phase, at T = 298.15 K, for 5-methyluracil, 6-methyluracil, and 5-nitrouracil were derived from the values of the standard massic energies of combustion measured by static bomb combustion calorimetry.

These values are discussed in the terms of structural enthalpic increments.

The standard molar enthalpies of formation, in the crystalline phase, of three halogenated 1-phenylpyrrole derivatives, namely 1-(4-fluorophenyl)pyrrole, 1-(4-chlorophenyl)pyrrole, and 1-(4-iodophenyl)pyrrole were derived from the respective enthalpies of combustion, measured by rotating-bomb combustion calorimetry. Their enthalpies of sublimation, at T = 298.15 K, were obtained from the Knudsen mass-loss effusion technique. From these two experimental parameters, the standard molar enthalpies of formation, in the gaseous phase, at T = 298.15 K, of 1-(4-fluorophenyl)pyrrole, 1-(4-chlorophenyl)pyrrole, and 1-(4-iodophenyl)pyrrole were calculated, respectively, as (26.2 ± 2.4) kJ · mol⁻¹, (196.2 ± 2.5) kJ · mol⁻¹, and (311.5 ± 2.4) kJ · mol⁻¹.The gas-phase enthalpies of formation of both fluorine and chlorine compounds were estimated by G3(MP2)//B3LYP computations. For the iodine compound, the B3LYP/6-311G(d):ECP46MDF approach was employed. Additionally, the DFT calculations were extended to estimate the enthalpy of formation of the bromine derivative, 1-(4-bromophenyl)pyrrole, performed at the B3LYP/6-311G(d) level of theory.

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.     

Thermodynamic study of the three isomers of bromo and iodobenzoic acids. Part II

Using our technique of combustion of small amount of a substance, we determined by calorimetry the standard molar enthalpy of formation in the condensed state and atT=298.15 K of the three isomers of bromo and iodobenzoic acids. Associating to these values their standard molar enthalpies of sublimation previously measured, it was possible to determine their standard molar enthalpies of formation in the gaseous state and atT=298.15 K. The experimental values of the thermodynamic properties _f H _m ^o (cr, 298.15 K), _f H _m ^o (cr, 298.15 K), _sub H _m ^o (298.15 K), and _f H _m ^o (g, 298.15 K) are given for the two series. From the experimental value of the standard molar enthalpy of atomization, it was possible to determine an enthalpy value for the C_b-Br and C_b-I bonds. The experimental and theoretical values of the resonance energy of bromo and iodobenzoic acids are compatible. The relative stability of some monosubstituted derivatives of benzoic acid studied in our laboratory is also discussed.Part I is concerned with Ref. 22 (for bromobenzoic acids) and with Ref. 23 (for iodobenzoic acids).     

The structure and thermochemistry of 3:4,5:6-dibenzo-2-hydroxymethylene-cyclohepta-3,5-dienenone (1) and some related compounds

Condensed and gas phase enthalpies of formation of 3:4,5:6-dibenzo-2-hydroxymethylene-cyclohepta-3,5-dienenone (1, (−199.1 ± 16.4), (−70.5 ± 20.5) kJ mol⁻¹, respectively) and 3,4,6,7-dibenzobicyclo[3.2.1]nona-3,6-dien-2-one (2, (−79.7 ± 22.9), (20.1 ± 23.1) kJ mol⁻¹) are reported. Sublimation enthalpies at T=298.15 K for these compounds were evaluated by combining the fusion enthalpies at T = 298.15 K (1, (12.5 ± 1.8); 2, (5.3 ± 1.7) kJ mol⁻¹) adjusted from DSC measurements at the melting temperature (1, (T _fus, 357.7 K, 16.9 ± 1.3 kJ mol⁻¹)); 2, (T _fus, 383.3 K, 10.9 ± 0.1) kJ mol⁻¹) with the vaporization enthalpies at T = 298.15 K (1, (116.1 ± 12.1); 2, (94.5 ± 2.2) kJ mol⁻¹) measured by correlation-gas chromatography. The vaporization enthalpies of benzoin ((98.5 ± 12.5) kJ mol⁻¹) and 7-heptadecanone ((94.5 ± 1.8) kJ mol⁻¹) at T = 298.15 K and the fusion enthalpy of phenyl salicylate (T _fus, 312.7 K, 18.4 ± 0.5) kJ mol⁻¹) were also determined for the correlations. The crystal structure of 1 was determined by X-ray crystallography. Compound 1 exists entirely in the enol form and resembles the crystal structure found for benzoylacetone.     

Thermochemistry of Amines: Experimental Standard Molar Enthalpies of Formation of N-Alkylated Piperidines

The standard molar enthalpies of formation _f H _m ^° (l) at the temperature T = 298.15 K were determined using combustion calorimetry for N-methylpiperidine (A), N-ethylpiperidine (B), N-propylpiperidine (C), N-butylpiperidine (D), N-cyclopentylpiperidine (E), N-cyclohexylpiperidine (F), and N-phenylpiperidine (G). The standard molar enthalpies of vaporization _l ^g H ^{m °} of these compounds were obtained from the temperature variation of the vapor pressure measured in a flow system. From these data the following standard molar enthalpies of formation in gaseous phase _f H _m ^° (g) were derived for: A –(61.39 ± 0.88); B –(88.1 ± 1.3); C –(105.81 ± 0.66); D –(126.2 ± 1.3); E ( –88.21 ± 0.75); F –(135.21 ± 0.94); G (70.3 ± 1.4) kJ · mol^–1. They are used to determine the strain enthalpies of the cyclic amines A–G. The N-alkylated piperidine rings have been found to be about strainless.     

Experimental thermochemical study of two 2-alkylbenzimidazole isomers (alkyl=propyl and isopropyl)

This paper reports the values of the standard (p^∘=0.1 MPa) molar enthalpy of formation in the condensed, at T=298.15 K, for 2-R-benzimidazoles (R=propyl, isopropyl), derived from, the respective enthalpies of combustion in oxygen, measured by static bomb combustion calorimetry and the standard molar enthalpies of sublimation, at T=298.15 K, obtained using Calvet microcalorimetry in the case of 2-isopropylbenzimidazole and, by the variation of vapour pressures, determined by the Knudsen effusion technique, with temperatures between (344 and 365) K for 2-propylbenzimidazole. Heat capacities, in the temperature ranges from T=268 K to near their respective melting temperatures, T=421 K for 2-propylbenzimidazole and T=464 K for 2-isopropylbenzimidazole, were measured with a differential scanning calorimeter. These values were used to derive the standard molar enthalpies of formation, of the two 2-benzimidazole derivatives, in gaseous phase.     

Additivity methods for prediction of thermochemical properties. The Laidler method revisited. 2. Hydrocarbons including substituted cyclic compounds

A revised parameterization of the extended Laidler method for predicting standard molar enthalpies of atomization and standard molar enthalpies of formation at T = 298.15 K for several families of hydrocarbons (alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, polyenes, poly-ynes, cycloalkanes, substituted cycloalkanes, cycloalkenes, substituted cycloalkenes, benzene derivatives, and bi and polyphenyls) is presented. Data for a total of 265 gas-phase and 242 liquid-phase compounds were used for the calculation of the parameters. Comparison of the experimental values with those obtained using the additive scheme led to an average absolute difference of 0.73 kJ · mol⁻¹ for the gas-phase standard molar enthalpy of formation and 0.79 kJ · mol⁻¹ for the liquid-phase standard molar enthalpy of formation. The database used to establish the parameters was carefully reviewed by using, whenever possible, the original publications. A worksheet to simplify the calculation of standard molar enthalpies of formation and standard molar enthalpies of atomization at T = 298.15 K based on the extended Laidler parameters defined in this paper is provided as supplementary material.     

Thermochemical study of three dimethylpyrazine derivatives

The standard (p ⁰=0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation, in the gaseous phase, at T-298.15 K, for 2,5-dimethylpyrazine (2,5-DMePz) and for the two dimethylpyrazine-N,N′-dioxide derivatives, 2,3-dimethylpyrazine-1,4-dioxide (2,3-DMePzDO) and 2,5-dimethylpyrazine-1,4-dioxide (2,5-DMePzDO), were derived from the measurements of standard massic energies of combustion, using a static bomb calorimeter, and from the standard molar enthalpies of vaporization or sublimation, measured by Calvet microcalorimetry. The mean values for the molar dissociation enthalpy of the nitrogen-oxygen bonds, 〈DH _m⁰〉(N-O), were derived for both N,N′-dioxide compounds. These values are discussed in terms of the molecular structure of the two N,N′-dioxide derivatives and compared with 〈DH _m⁰〉(N-O) values previously obtained for other N-oxide derivatives.     

Thermochemical study of the isomeric compounds: 3-acetylbenzonitrile and benzoylacetonitrile

The standard (p° = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation of 3-acetylbenzonitrile and benzoylacetonitrile, in the crystalline phase, were derived from the respective standard massic energies of combustion measured by static bomb combustion calorimetry, in oxygen, at T = 298.15 K. The standard molar enthalpies of sublimation, at T = 298.15 K, were measured by Calvet microcalorimetry. From the above experimentally determined enthalpic parameters, the standard molar enthalpies of formation in the gaseous phase, at T = 298.15 K, are found to be: (52.4 ± 2.1) kJ · mol⁻¹ and (74.8 ± 2.5) kJ · mol⁻¹ for 3-acetylbenzonitrile and benzoylacetonitrile, respectively.Molecular structures were computed using highly accurate ab initio techniques. Standard molar enthalpies of formation of the experimentally studied compounds were derived using an appropriate set of working reactions. Very good agreement between the calculated and the experimental values was obtained, so the calculations were extended to the estimates of the standard molar enthalpies of formation of 2- and 4-acetylbenzonitriles whose study was not performed experimentally.Our results were further interpreted and rationalized in terms of the enthalpic stability and compared to other relevant disubstituted benzenes.     

Phase transition thermodynamics of phenyl and biphenyl naphthalenes

This work is focussed on the thermodynamics of phase transition for some naphthalene derivatives: 1-phenylnaphthalene, 2-phenylnaphthalene, 2-(biphen-3-yl)naphthalene, and 2-(biphen-4-yl)naphthalene.The Knudsen mass-loss effusion technique was used to measure the vapour pressures of the following compounds: 2-phenylnaphthalene (cr), between T= (333.11 and 353.19) K; 2-(biphen-4-yl)naphthalene (cr), between T = (405.17 and 437.19) K; 2-(biphen-3-yl)naphthalene (l), betweenT = (381.08 and 413.17) K. From the temperature dependence of the vapour pressure, the standard, (p = 10⁵ Pa), molar enthalpies, entropies, and Gibbs free energies of sublimation for 2-phenylnaphthalene and 2-(biphen-4-yl)naphthalene were derived as well as the standard molar enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs free energy of vaporization for 2-(biphen-3-yl)naphthalene at 298.15 K. The temperatures and the standard molar enthalpies of fusion were measured by differential scanning calorimetry and the standard molar entropies of fusion were derived. For 1-phenylnaphthalene the standard molar enthalpy of vaporization at 298.15 K was measured directly using the Calvet microcalorimetry drop method.The 1-phenylnaphthalene is liquid at room temperature, showing a remarkably low melting point when compared to the 2-phenylnaphthalene isomer and naphthalene. A regular decrease of volatility with the increase of a phenyl group in para position at the 2-naphthalene derivatives was observed. In 2-(biphen-3-yl)naphthalene, the meta substitution of the phenyl group results in a significantly higher volatility than in the respective para isomer.     

Combined experimental and computational thermochemistry of isomers of chloronitroanilines

The standard (p^° = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation, at T = 298.15 K, of 4-chloro-3-nitroaniline and 5-chloro-2-nitroaniline, in the condensed phase, were derived from their standard molar energies of combustion, in oxygen, to yield CO₂(g), N₂(g), and HCl · 600H₂O(l), measured by rotating bomb combustion calorimetry. From the temperature dependence of the vapour pressures of these compounds, measured by the Knudsen effusion technique, their standard molar enthalpies of sublimation, at T = 298.15 K, were derived by means of the Clausius–Clapeyron equation. The Calvet microcalorimetry was also used to measure the standard molar enthalpies of sublimation of these compounds, at T = 298.15 K. The combination of the standard molar enthalpies of formation in the condensed phases and the standard molar enthalpies of sublimation yielded the standard molar enthalpies of formation in the gaseous phase at T = 298.15 K for each isomer. Further, the standard (p^° = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies, entropies and Gibbs free energies of sublimation, at T = 298.15 K, were also derived.The standard molar enthalpies of formation, in the gaseous phase of all the chloronitroaniline isomers were also estimated by the Cox scheme and by the use of computational thermochemistry and compared with the available experimental values.     

Energetic studies of two oxygen heterocyclic compounds Xanthone and tetrahydro-γ-pyrone

The present work reports an experimental thermochemical study supported by state of the art calculations of two heterocyclic compounds containing oxygen in the ring: xanthone and tetrahydro-γ-pyrone. The standard (po = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation in the condensed phase, at T = 298.15 K, were derived from the measurements of the standard molar energies of combustion in oxygen atmosphere, using a static bomb calorimeter. The standard molar enthalpies of sublimation or vaporization, at T = 298.15 K, of the title compounds were obtained from Calvet microcalorimetry measurements. These values were used to derive the standard enthalpies of formation of the compounds in the gas-phase at the same temperature, which were compared with estimated data from G3(MP2)//B3LYP computations.
