The enthalpies of mixing of organophosphate esters with hydrocarbons

Heats of mixing were obtained calorimetrically at 298°K for each of the phosphate esters tri-n-butylphosphate (TBP), bis(2-ethylhexyl)phosphate [(H)DE-HP], and di-n-butylphosphate [(H)DBP] withn-dodecane and with 1,3-diethylbenzene. These data and data from the literature on Gibbs free energies and heats of mixing of the phosphate esters with decane, hexane, and benzene are interpreted according to a nonideal associated mixture model. This takes into account the size effect, nonspecific (regular-type) interactions, and association to dimers, which is partial for TBP and complete for the acidic esters, which in turn associate further to trimers and possibly higher oligomers. The enthalpies of mixing with the aliphatic hydrocarbons involve two parameters, one describing the association and the other the nonspecific interaction, and independently obtained quantities. The enthalpies of mixing with the aromatic hydrocarbons require further parameters, involving the mutual interactions, which could not be calculated.     

The enthalpies of vaporization of some hydrocarbons with three-membered rings

The enthalpies of vaporization of four compounds with three-membered rings (bicyclopropyl, 1,2-bicyclopropylacetylene, 1-cyclopropylpentadiine-1,3, and 1,2,2-trimethylcyclopropene) were determined calorimetrically. The temperature dependence of saturated vapor pressure of 1,2,2-trimethylcyclopropene was studied by ebulliometry, and the results were approximated by the equation lnp = A + B/T. The enthalpy of vaporization, normal boiling temperature, critical parameter, and similarity criterion according to the law of corresponding states in the variant suggested by Filippov were calculated. The calculated corrections to the enthalpy of vaporization (kJ/mol) for the cyclopropene ring containing methyl substituents are discussed in comparison with the data on related compounds.     

Recent advances in the electrochemical hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons

Electrochemical hydrogenation of unsaturated organic compounds is emerging as a very promising alternative to the conventional transition-metal-catalyzed transformation as it avoids the preparation, transportation, and storage of pressured molecule hydrogen (H₂). Besides the direct usage of the on-site-generated H₂ on the cathode surface, the electrochemical means also provide opportunities for novel hydrogenation reactions of unsaturated hydrocarbons, especially electrochemical Birch reduction. Another attractive aspect of such an approach is the possibility of highly selective deuteration of unsaturated hydrocarbons with the readily available, cost-effective deuterium source, D₂O.     

Molecular enthalpies: 2. ground-state thermodynamic and computed enthalpies of bicyclo[2.2.2]octa-2,5,7-triene and its hydrogenation products

This article is a continuation of our investigation of enthalpies of formation and strain-compensated enthalpies of hydrogenation of medium-sized hydrocarbons. We have carried out calculations of H _f by MM2, MM3, and by the MNDO, AM1, and PM3 semi-empirical molecular orbital methods. Results are given for the bicyclo[2.2]octa-2,5,7-triene series ([2.2.2]barrelenes) Two of these compounds are potentially homoantiaromatic. Comparisons with ab initio calculations are made. A novel method of estimating strain relaxation during the stepwise hydrogenation of [2.2.2]barrelene is given.     

Excess molar enthalpies for binary liquid mixtures of furfural with some aromatic hydrocarbons

The excess molar enthalpies H _m ^E for the binary mixtures of furfural with the aromatic hydrocarbons namely benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and o-, m-, and p-xylenes were determined at 35°C. The values for all the mixtures studied are positive over the entire range of composition and follow the order: o-xylene>m-xylene>ethylbenzene>p-xylene>benzene>toluene. The results are discussed in terms of the unlike specific interactions present in the binary mixtures.

Osmium liquid-phase catalysts for hydrogenolysis of saturated hydrocarbons and hydrogenation of arenes

Reduction of OsO₄ by molecular hydrogen in alkane (cycloalkane) or benzene (toluene) solution produces small-ligand clusters of osmium of composition Os_1.5–2.5. CH_0–2 with a particle size 10–40 Å and a specific surface area of 34–46 m²/g. Hydrogenation of dry catalyst produces methane. The small-ligand osmium clusters obtained effectively catalyze hydrogenolysis of alkanes and cycloalkanes at 100–150°C and =5 MPa and hydrogenation of benzene at 20°C and =0.1 MPa.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 11, pp. 2428–2433, November, 1989.     

Calculation of the enthalpies of formation and proton affinities of some isoquinoline derivatives

Ab initio molecular orbital theory has been used to calculate enthalpies of formation of isoquinoline, 1-hydroxyisoquinoline, 5-hydroxyisoquinoline, and 1,5-dihydroxyisoquinoline as well as some pyridine and quinoline derivatives. The proton affinities of the four isoquinoline derivatives were also obtained. The high-level composite methods G3(MP2), G3(MP2)//B3LYP, G3//B3LYP, and CBS-QB3 have been used for this study, and the results have been compared with available experimental values. For six of the eight studied compounds, the theoretical enthalpies of formation were very close to the experimental values (to within 4.3 kJ · mol⁻¹); where comparison was possible, the theoretical and experimental proton affinities were also in excellent agreement with one another. However, there is an extraordinary discrepancy between theory and experiment for the enthalpies of formation of 1-hydroxyisoquinoline and 1,5-dihydroxyisoquinoline, suggesting that the experimental values for these two compounds should perhaps be re-examined. We also show that popular low cost computational methods such as B3LYP and MP2 show very large deviations from the benchmark values.     

Measurement of the enthalpies of vaporization and sublimation of solids aromatic hydrocarbons by differential scanning calorimetry

An experimental procedure is proposed for direct measurement of the heat involved in the vaporization of a solid organic compound above its normal melting temperature. This technique consists on the fusion of a solid aromatic hydrocarbon, which is then vaporized by a sudden decrease of the pressure. The direct register of heat flow as function of time by differential scanning calorimetry allows the quantifying of the enthalpy of vaporization of compounds such as phenanthrene, β-naphthol, pyrene, and anthracene. Enthalpies of vaporization were measured in an isothermal mode over a range of temperatures from 10 to 20 K above the melting temperatures of each compound, while enthalpies of fusion were determined from separate experiments performed in a scanning mode. Enthalpies of sublimation are computed from results of fusion and vaporization, and then compared with results from the literature, which currently are obtained by calorimetric or indirect techniques.     

Vapor pressures and sublimation enthalpies of seven heteroatomic aromatic hydrocarbons measured using the Knudsen effusion technique

The vapor pressures of seven heteroatom-containing cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, ranging in molecular weight from (168.19 to 208.21) g · mol^?1 were measured over the temperature range of (301 to 486) K using the isothermal Knudsen effusion technique. The compounds measured include: anthraquinone, 9-fluorenone, 9-fluorenone oxime, phenoxazine, phenoxathiin, and 9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole. These solid-state sublimation measurements provided values that are compared to vapor pressures of parent aromatic compounds (anthracene and fluorene) and to others with substituent groups in order to examine the effects of alcohol, ketone, pyridine, and pyrrole functionality on this property. The enthalpies and entropies of sublimation for each compound were determined from the Clausius–Clapeyron equation. Though there is no consistent trend in terms of the effects of substitutions on changes in the enthalpy or entropy of sublimation, we note that the prevalence of enthalpic or entropic driving forces on vapor pressure depend on molecule-specific factors and not merely molecular weight of the substituents.     

G3(MP2) enthalpies of hydrogenation, isomerization, and formation of extended linear polyacetylenes

Motivated by our recent finding that, in contrast to their olefinic counterparts, linear alternant polyacetylenes (polyynes) show no appreciable thermodynamic evidence of conjugation stabilization, we have extended our G3(MP2) calculations of standard enthalpies of hydrogenation, delta(hyd), formation, delta(f), and isomerization, delta(isom), as far as isomeric dodecadiynes. We show that thermochemical stabilization of conjugated polyalkynes is about 1 kcal mol(-1) over most of this range, and that the progression from one polyalkyne to the next is regular and additive. The longest chain polyalkynes, however, begin to revert to classical conjugation stabilization energies. For example, 5,7-dodecadiyne has a thermochemical stabilization enthalpy of 3.1 kcal mol(-1), approaching that of 1,3-butadiene. We also point out some of the difficulties encountered when one departs from Kistiakowsky's operational definition of conjugation stabilization. A cautionary example is drawn from the recent literature in which arguments of hyperconjugation and "virtual states" are used to arrive at, among other things, a value of 8.5 kcal mol(-1) of conjugative stabilization in 1,3-butadiene.
