A thermophysical and thermochemical study has been carried out for crystalline imidazolidin-2-one and N,N′-trimethyleneurea [tetrahydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one]. The thermophysical study was made by differential scanning calorimetry, d.s.c., in the temperature intervals between T = 268 K and their respective melting temperatures. Several solid–solid transitions have been detected in imidazolidin-2-one.

The standard molar enthalpies of sublimation, at T = 298.15 K, for the two compounds were derived from the variation of their vapour pressures, measured by the Knudsen effusion method, with the temperature. These two thermochemical parameters yielded the standard molar enthalpies of formation of the two cyclic urea compounds studied in the gaseous phase at T = 298.15 K. These values are discussed in terms of molecular structural contributions and interpreted on the bases of the “benzo-condensed effect” and of the ring strain of imidazolidin-2-one.

The standard (p ^o = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation, in the gaseous phase, of 2-, 3- and 4-bromobenzonitrile isomers were calculated from the combination of the following two parameters experimentally determined: the standard molar enthalpy of formation in the condensed phase, derived from the standard molar energy of combustion in oxygen at T = 298.15 K, measured by rotating-bomb combustion calorimetry, and the standard molar enthalpy of sublimation at the same reference temperature, derived from vapour pressure studies at several temperatures, as measured by mass-loss Knudsen effusion. The computational calculations complement the energetic study and analysis of the electron delocalization allows a comparison between the fluorine and bromine benzonitrile isomers. The harmonic oscillator model of aromaticity and nucleus-independent chemical shift aromaticity criteria and the natural bond orbital analysis were applied and related with the intramolecular enthalpic interactions.

This report presents a comprehensive experimental and computational study of the thermodynamic properties of two bromine fluorene derivatives: 2-bromofluorene and 2,7-dibromofluorene. The standard (p° = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation in the crystalline phase of these compounds were derived from the standard molar energies of combustion, in oxygen, at T = 298.15 K, measured by rotating bomb combustion calorimetry.

From these results the standard molar enthalpies, entropies and Gibbs energies of sublimation of the two compounds studied and of vapourisation of 2-bromofluorene were derived. The enthalpies and temperatures of fusion were determined from DSC experiments. Derived results of standard enthalpies and Gibbs energies of formation, in both gaseous and crystalline phases, were compared with the ones reported in the literature for fluorene.The experimental values of the gas-phase enthalpies of formation of each compound were compared with estimates based on density functional theory calculations using the B3LYP hybrid exchange–correlation energy functional with the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set.
