Abstract: | The thermodynamic relationship between crystal modifications of paracetamol was studied by alternative methods. Temperature
dependence of saturated vapor pressure for polymorphic modifications of the drug paracetamol (acetaminophen) was mea sured
and thermodynamic functions of the sublimation process calculated. Solution calorimetry was carried out for the two modifications
in the same solvent. Thermodynamic parameters for sublimation for form I (monoclinic) were found: ΔG
sub298=60.0 kJ mol−1; ΔH
sub298=117.9±0.7 kJ mol−1; ΔS
sub298=190±2 J mol−1 K−1. For the orthorhombic modification (form II), the saturated vapor pressure could only be studied at 391 K. Phase transition
enthalpy at 298 K, ΔH
tr298(I→II)=2.0±0.4 kJ mol−1, was derived as the difference between the solution enthalpies of the noted polymorphs in the same solution (methanol). Based
on ΔH
tr298 (I→II), differences between temperature dependencies of heat capacities of both modifications and the vapor pressure value
of form II at 391 K, the temperature dependence of saturated vapor pressure and thermodynamic sublimation parameters for modification
II were also estimated (ΔG
sub298=56.1 kJ mol−1; ΔH
sub298=115.9±0.9 kJ mol−1; ΔS
sub298=200±3 J mol−1 K−1). The results indicate that the modifications are monotropically related, which is in contrast to findings recently reported
found by classical thermochemical methods. |
