Freezing temperatures of aqueous solutions of hexamethylenetetramine with polyols,amides, and ethers

Freezing temperatures of dilute aqueous solutions of hexamethylenetetramine and mixtures of hexamethylenetetramine with myo-inositol, d-mannitol, cyclohexanol, formamide, acetamide, 1,4-dioxane, and 1,3,5-trioxane have been measured. These data yield pairwise molecular Gibbs energies of interaction between the molecules in an aqueous solution. Using the additivity principle, the results also yield the pairwise functional group Gibbs energies of interaction in an aqueous solution for the amine nitrogen with itself and with the hydroxyl, amide, ether, and methylene groups.
