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.     

Thermodynamic properties of the methyl esters of p-hydroxy and p-methoxy benzoic acids

The vapor pressures of crystalline and liquid phases of methyl p-hydroxybenzoate and of methyl p-methoxybenzoate were measured over the temperature ranges (338.9 to 423.7) K and (292.0 to 355.7) K respectively, using a static method based on diaphragm capacitance gauges. The vapor pressures of the crystalline phase of the former compound were also measured in the temperature range (323.1 to 345.2) K using a Knudsen mass-loss effusion technique. The results enabled the determination of the standard molar enthalpies, entropies and Gibbs free energies of sublimation and of vaporization, at T = 298.15 K, as well as phase diagram representations of the (p, T) experimental data, including the triple point. The temperatures and molar enthalpies of fusion of both compounds were determined using differential scanning calorimetry and were compared with the results indirectly derived from the vapor pressure measurements. The standard (p° = 10⁵ Pa) molar enthalpies of formation, in the crystalline phase, at T = 298.15 K, of the compounds studied were derived from their standard massic energies of combustion measured by static-bomb combustion calorimetry. From the experimental results, the standard molar enthalpies of formation, in the gaseous phase at T = 298.15 K, were calculated and compared with the values estimated by employing quantum chemical computational calculations. A good agreement between experimental and theoretical results is observed. To analyze the thermodynamic stability of the two compounds studied, the standard Gibbs free energies of formation in crystalline and gaseous phases were undertaken. The standard molar enthalpies of formation of the title compounds were also estimated from two different computational approaches using density functional theory-based B3LYP and the multilevel G3 methodologies.     

Thermodynamic study of phase transitions in methyl esters of ortho- meta- and para-aminobenzoic acids

A static method based on capacitance gauges was used to measure the vapor pressures of the condensed phases of the methyl esters of the three aminobenzoic acids. For methyl o-aminobenzoate the vapor pressures of the liquid phase were measured in the range (285.4 to 369.5) K. For the meta and para isomers vapor pressures of both crystalline and liquid phases were measured in the ranges (308.9 to 376.6) K, and (332.9 to 428.0) K, respectively. Vapor pressures of the latter compound were also measured using the Knudsen effusion method in the temperature range (319.1 to 341.2) K.From the dependence of the vapor pressures on the temperature, the standard molar enthalpies and entropies of sublimation and of vaporization were derived. Differential scanning calorimetry was used to measure the temperatures and molar enthalpies of fusion of the three isomers. The results enabled the estimation of the enthalpy of the intermolecular (N−H^…O) hydrogen bond in the crystalline methyl p-aminobenzoate. A correlation relating the temperature of fusion and the enthalpy and Gibbs energy of sublimation of benzene, methyl benzoates and benzoic acids was derived.     

Thermodynamic properties of sublimation of the ortho and meta isomers of acetoxy and acetamido benzoic acids

This paper reports vapour pressures measured at several different temperatures using the Knudsen effusion method of ortho-acetoxybenzoic acid (aspirin) (341.1 to 361.1) K, meta-acetoxybenzoic acid (344.2 to 362.2) K, ortho-acetamidobenzoic acid (367.2 to 389.2) K, and meta-acetamidobenzoic acid (423.2 to 441.1) K. The experimental results enabled the determination of the standard molar enthalpies, entropies and Gibbs energies of sublimation, at T = 298.15 K, of the four compounds studied. DSC experiments yield results of the temperature and enthalpy of fusion. The experimental results were compared with literature ones for the para isomers of the acids acetoxybenzoic and acetamidobenzoic. Correlations involving temperature of fusion, and standard molar enthalpy and Gibbs energy of sublimation of several substituted benzoic acids were proposed. Those correlation equations allow a good estimative of volatility of benzoic acid derivatives from their enthalpies of sublimation and temperatures of fusion.

Structural studies of cyclic ureas: 1. Enthalpies of formation of imidazolidin-2-one and N,N′-trimethyleneurea

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 (p^° = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation, at T = 298.15 K, for crystalline imidazolidin-2-one and N,N′-trimethyleneurea [tetrahydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one], were determined using static-bomb combustion calorimetry. 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.     

Acoustic,volumetric and osmotic properties of binary mixtures containing the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide mixed with primary and secondary alcohols

In this paper, densities and speeds of sound for five binary systems {alcohol + 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide} were measured from T = (293.15 to 323.15) K and atmospheric pressure. From these experimental data, apparent molar volume and apparent molar isentropic compression have been calculated and fitted to a Redlich–Meyer type equation. This fit was also used to calculate the apparent molar volume and apparent molar isentropic compression at infinite dilution for the studied binary mixtures. Moreover, the osmotic and activity coefficients and vapor pressures of these binary mixtures were also determined at T = 323.15 K using the vapor pressure osmometry technique. The experimental osmotic coefficients were correlated using the Extended Pitzer model of Archer. The mean molal activity coefficients and the excess Gibbs free energy for the studied mixtures were calculated from the parameters obtained in the correlation.
