Heat Capacities of l-Histidine,l-Phenylalanine,l-Proline,l-Tryptophan and l-Tyrosine

In an effort to establish reliable thermodynamic data for proteinogenic amino acids, heat capacities for l-histidine (CAS RN: 71-00-1), l-phenylalanine (CAS RN: 63-91-2), l-proline (CAS RN: 147-85-3), l-tryptophan (CAS RN: 73-22-3), and l-tyrosine (CAS RN: 60-18-4) were measured over a wide temperature range. Prior to heat capacity measurements, thermogravimetric analysis was performed to determine the decomposition temperatures while X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and heat-flux differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used to identify the initial crystal structures and their possible transformations. Crystal heat capacities of all five amino acids were measured by Tian–Calvet calorimetry in the temperature interval from 262 to 358 K and by power compensation DSC in the temperature interval from 307 to 437 K. Experimental values determined in this work were then combined with the literature data obtained by adiabatic calorimetry. Low temperature heat capacities of l-histidine, for which no literature data were available, were determined in this work using the relaxation (heat pulse) calorimetry from 2 K. As a result, isobaric crystal heat capacities and standard thermodynamic functions up to 430 K for all five crystalline amino acids were developed.     

Heat capacity,saturation vapor pressure,and thermodynamic functions of ethyl esters of C<Subscript>3</Subscript>–C<Subscript>5</Subscript> and C<Subscript>18</Subscript> carboxylic acids

The heat capacities of ethyl propanoate (EPr), ethyl n-pentanoate (EPen), and ethyl n-octadecanoate (ethyl stearate, ESt) were measured by vacuum adiabatic calorimetry in the temperature range of 6 to 373 K. Triple point temperatures, fusion enthalpies and entropies, and purity of the samples of the sub-stances under study were determined. The saturation vapor pressures for EPr and EPen were determined by comparative ebulliometry in an atmospheric pressure range of 4.0 to 101.7 kPa. The normal boiling points and vaporization enthalpies vs. temperature were obtained. The standard thermodynamic functions (S, H, and G) were calculated for the condensed and ideal gas states on the basis of the experimental data. The vapor pressures of the atmospheric range were extrapolated to entire ranges of the liquid phases of EPr and EPen using the principle of corresponding states and the combined processing of pT parameters and low-temperature differences in the heat capacities of an ideal gas and liquid.     

Recommended sublimation pressure and enthalpy of benzene

Recommended vapor pressures of solid benzene (CAS Registry Number: 71-43-2) which are consistent with thermodynamically related crystalline and ideal-gas heat capacities as well as with properties of the liquid phase at the triple point temperature (vapor pressure, enthalpy of vaporization) were established. The recommended data were developed by a multi-property simultaneous correlation of vapor pressures and related thermal data. Vapor pressures measured in this work using the static method in the temperature range from 233 K to 260 K, covering pressure range from 99 Pa to 1230 Pa, were included in the simultaneous correlation. The enthalpy of sublimation was established with uncertainty significantly lower than the previously recommended values.     

Thermodynamic properties of biologically active substances: 3-acetyl-9-methoxy-2-phenyl-11H-indolizino[8,7-b]indole and 8-acetylharmine

The enthalpies of solution of 3-acetyl-9-methoxy-2-phenyl-11H-indolizino[8,7-b]indole and 8-acetylharmine in dimethyl sulfoxide were measured by isothermal calorimetry at solute: solvent molar ratios of 1: 9000, 1: 18000, and 1: 36000. From the data obtained, the standard enthalpies of solution of the compounds in dimethyl sulfoxide at infinite dilution were calculated. The heat capacities of 8-acetylharmine were determined by dynamic calorimetry in the interval 298.15–673 K, and the C _p ^o = f(T) equations were obtained. The standard enthalpies of combustion of the compounds were estimated by approximate methods, and their heats of melting were calculated. From the data obtained, using Hess cycle, the standard enthalpies of formation of the compounds were calculated.     

Di-hydroxybenzenes: Catechol, resorcinol, and hydroquinone: Enthalpies of phase transitions revisited

Molar enthalpies of sublimation of 1,2-di-hydroxybenzene, 1,3-di-hydroxybenzene, and 1,4-di-hydroxybenzene were obtained from the temperature dependence of the vapor pressure measured by the transpiration method. The molar enthalpies of fusion of 1,2- and 1,4-isomers were measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). A large number of the primary experimental results on the temperature dependences of vapor pressure and phase transitions have been collected from the literature and have been treated in a uniform manner in order to derive sublimation, vaporization and fusion enthalpies of di-hydroxybenzenes at the reference temperature 298.15 K. The data sets on phase transitions were checked for internal consistency. This collection together with the new experimental results reported here has helped to resolve contradictions in the available thermochemical data and to recommend consistent and reliable sublimation, vaporization and fusion enthalpies for all three isomers under study.

Vapor pressures of (dl)-1,2-propanediamine and 2-methyl-1,2-propanediamine were measured using the transpiration method. Molar enthalpies of vaporization were derived from the vapor pressure temperature dependence. Thermodynamic data on alkanediamines available in the literature were collected and treated uniformly. Consistency of the experimental data set for alkanediamines was evaluated with group-contribution and quantum-chemical methods.The standard molar entropy of formation and the standard molar Gibbs function of formation have been calculated. Vaporization and formation enthalpies of alkanediamines of benchmark quality are recommended for practical thermochemical calculations and validation of empirical and theoretical methods.     

The thermodynamic characteristics of 15-pentadecanolide and 16-hexadecanolide

Combustion calorimetry was used to determine the enthalpies of formation of 15-pentadecanolide (I) and 16-hexadecanolide (II). The temperature dependences of vapor pressure of lactones and the enthalpies of vaporization were determined by the transpiration method. Differential scanning calorimetry measurements were performed to find the temperatures and enthalpies of fusion of lactones. Conformational analysis and quantum-chemical calculations of the structural, vibrational, and energy characteristics of stable conformers of I were performed. The molecular and spectral data were used to calculate the thermodynamic properties of I in the ideal gas state. An explanation was suggested of the special features of changes in the enthalpies of vaporization in the series of unsubstituted lactones as the size of their rings increased.     

Heat capacity and thermodynamic functions of 2-methylbiphenyl and 3,3′-dimethylbiphenyl in the range of 6 to 372 K

The heat capacities of 2-methylbiphenyl and 3,3′-dimethylbiphenyl are measured by means of low-temperature adiabatic calorimetry in the temperature range of 6 to 372 K. The thermodynamic characteristics of fusion and the glass transition of the investigated compounds are determined. The saturation vapor pressure and enthalpy of vaporization of 3,3′-dimethylbiphenyl are determined according to the dynamic method based on the transfer of a substance vapor in a helium flow. The absolute entropies and changes in Gibbs energies of biphenyl derivatives are calculated from the data obtained in the condensed and ideal gas states. The contribution of the C_b-(C_b) group is determined using the Benson additive method for calculating the absolute entropies of biphenyl derivatives in the liquid state (where C_b is the carbon atom in a benzene ring).

Standard enthalpies and heat capacities of dissolution of bioligand are calculated and compared to data obtained earlier for deuteroporphyrin dimethyl ether and ethyl acetate. Partial molar heat capacities of hematoporhyrin are determined at infinite dilution using data from differential scanning calorimetry.     

Thermogravimetric method for a rapid estimation of vapor pressure and vaporization enthalpies of disubstituted benzoic acids: an attempt to correlate vapor pressures and vaporization enthalpies with structure

A rapid estimation of vapor pressure and vaporization enthalpies of some disubstituted benzoic acids (2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,4-DHBA), 2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,6-DHBA), 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (3,4-DHBA), 2,4-dinitrobenzoic acid (2,4-DNBA), 3,4-dinitrobenzoic acid (3,4-DNBA), 2,5-dibromobenzoic acid (2,5-DBBA), and 3,5-dibromobenzoic acid (3,5-DBBA)) was made using a simultaneous TG/DSC apparatus operating with aluminum open crucibles under inert atmosphere in both isothermal and non-isothermal mode. No evidence of thermal decomposition (in the form of endo or exothermic effect) was found during each experiment. Vapor pressure was obtained in the range from some tenth to some hundreds of Pa after calibration with benzoic acid. All operative conditions (sample mass, temperature rage, and purge gas flow) were carefully checked in order to obtain reliable results. Internal consistency of the results obtained was checked by comparing the sublimation enthalpy obtained by the sum of the vaporization enthalpies derived by the global NITG and ITG data, the melting enthalpies from DSC adjusted at 298.15 using the molar isobaric heat capacities of both solid and liquid estimated according to a group additivity approach and that obtained from the sublimation enthalpies determined by torsion effusion corrected at 298.15 K using the same approach. Finally, some comments concerning the relationship between energetics and structure (substituent effect) are also reported.     

Experimental densities,vapor pressures,and critical point,and a fundamental equation of state for dimethyl ether

Densities, vapor pressures, and the critical point were measured for dimethyl ether, thus, filling several gaps in the thermodynamic data for this compound. Densities were measured with a computer-controlled high temperature, high-pressure vibrating-tube densimeter system in the sub- and supercritical states. The densities were measured at temperatures from 273 to 523 K and pressures up to 40 MPa (417 data points), for which densities between 62 and 745 kg/m³ were covered. The uncertainty (where the uncertainties can be considered as estimates of a combined expanded uncertainty with a coverage factor of 2) in density measurement was estimated to be no greater than 0.1% in the liquid and compressed supercritical states. Near the critical temperature and pressure, the uncertainty increases to 1%. Using a variable volume apparatus with a sapphire tube, vapor pressures and critical data were determined. Vapor pressures were measured between 264 and 194 kPa up to near the critical point with an uncertainty of 0.1 kPa. The critical point was determined visually with an uncertainty of 1% for the critical volume, 0.1 K for the critical temperature, and 5 kPa for the critical pressure. The new vapor pressures and compressed liquid densities were correlated with the simple TRIDEN model. The new data along with the available literature data were used to develop a first fundamental Helmholtz energy equation of state for dimethyl ether, valid from 131.65 to 525 K and for pressures up to 40 MPa. The uncertainty in the equation of state for density ranges from 0.1% in the liquid to 1% near the critical point. The uncertainty in calculated heat capacities is 2%, and the uncertainty in vapor pressure is 0.25% at temperatures above 200 K. Although the equation presented here is an interim equation, it represents the best currently available.     

Thermodynamic functions of lactones in the gaseous state

The temperature dependences of the vapor pressures of oxacyclobutan-2-one and oxacyclopentan-2-one were measured by the transpiration method. The entropies of gaseous oxacycloalkan-2-ones (lactones) were determined based on the experimental values of entropy in the condensed state, vapor pressure, and enthalpy of vaporization. Thermodynamic functions of lactones with a ring size of n = 4—8 (number of atoms in the ring) were determined by quantum chemistry and statistical physics methods in the ideal gas approximation taking into account the molar fractions of all conformers and optical isomers in the temperature range from 298.15 to 1500 K. The enthalpies of ring strain were calculated based on the enthalpies of formation.     

The enthalpies of vaporization and intermolecular interaction energies of 1-chloroalkanes

The enthalpies of vaporization of 1-chloroalkanes containing n = 3–20 carbon atoms were calculated from saturated vapor pressure data. It was shown that the enthalpies of vaporization of 1-chloroalkanes could be calculated on the basis of model concepts of the structure of liquids from experimental liquid density and sound velocity data.     

Excess molar enthalpies and heat capacities of dimethyl sulfoxide + seven normal alkanols at 303.15 K and atmospheric pressure

Excess molar enthalpies and heat capacities of binary mixtures containing dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) + seven normal alkanols, namely methanol, ethanol, propan-1-ol, butan-1-ol, hexan-1-ol, octan-1-ol, and decan-1-ol, have been determined at 303.15 K and atmospheric pressure. With the exception of the DMSO-methanol system, which shows negative values, all mixtures show positive values of excess molar enthalpies over the whole range of mole fraction, increasing as the number of carbon atoms increases. Heat capacities of pure components have been determined in the range 288.15 < T (K) < 325.15. Molar heat capacities of the mixtures are always positive and decrease as the number of carbon atoms decreases. The results were fitted to the Redlich-Kister polynomial equation. Molecular interactions in the mixtures are interpreted on the basis of the results obtained.     

The thermodynamic properties of 4-pentenoic acid

The enthalpy of formation of liquid 4-pentenoic acid was determined by combustion calorimetry. The vapor pressure and enthalpy of vaporization of the compound were measured by the transfer method over the temperature range 289–324 K. Conformational analysis was performed. The equilibrium structure, fundamental vibrations, moments of inertia, and total energy of the stablest acid conformers were calculated by the B3LYP/6-311G(d, p) and G3MP2 quantum-chemical methods. The experimental IR spectrum and calculated vibrational frequencies were used to assign IR bands. The thermodynamic properties of monomeric 4-pentenoic acid in the ideal gas state were calculated over the temperature range 0–1500 K. Additive and quantum-chemical methods were used to estimate the Δ_f H°(g) and Δ_vap H° values. Close agreement between the calculation results and experimental data was obtained. It was shown that additive and quantum-chemical methods could be used for estimating the enthalpies of formation and vaporization of nonconjugated alkenoic acids.     

Cubane, cuneane, and their carboxylates: a calorimetric, crystallographic, calculational, and conceptual coinvestigation

[reaction: see text] This study is a multinational, multidisciplinary contribution to the thermochemistry of dimethyl1,4-cubanedicarboxylate and the corresponding isomeric, cuneane derivative and provides both structural and thermochemical information regarding the rearrangement of dimethyl 1,4-cubanedicarboxylate to dimethyl 2,6-cuneanedicarboxylate. The enthalpies of formation in the condensed phase at T = 298.15 K of dimethyl 1,4-cubanedicarboxylate (dimethyl pentacyclo[4.2.0.0.(2,5)0.(3,8)0(4,7)]octane-1,4-dicarboxylate) and dimethyl 2,6-cuneanedicarboxylate (dimethyl pentacyclo[3.3.0.0.(2,4)0.(3,7)0(6,8)]octane-2,6-dicarboxylate) have been determined by combustion calorimetry, delta(f) H(o)m (cr)/kJ x mol(-1) = -232.62 +/- 5.84 and -413.02 +/- 5.16, respectively. The enthalpies of sublimation have been evaluated by combining vaporization enthalpies evaluated by correlation-gas chromatography and fusion enthalpies measured by differential scanning calorimetry and adjusted to T = 298.15 K, delta(cr) (g)Hm (298.15 K)/kJ x mol(-1) = 117.2 +/- 3.9 and 106.8 +/- 3.0, respectively. Combination of these two enthalpies resulted in delta(f) H(o)m (g., 298.15 K)/kJ x mol(-1) of -115.4 +/- 7.0 for dimethyl 1,4-cubanedicarboxylate and -306.2 +/- 6.0 for dimethyl 2,6-cuneanedicarboxylate. These measurements, accompanied by quantum chemical calculations, resulted in values of delta(f) Hm (g, 298.15 K) = 613.0 +/- 9.5 kJ x mol(-1) for cubane and 436.4 +/- 8.8 kJ x mol(-1) for cuneane. From these enthalpies of formation, strain enthalpies of 681.0 +/- 9.8 and 504.4 +/- 9.1 kJ x mol(-1) were calculated for cubane and cuneane by means of isodesmic reactions, respectively. Crystals of dimethyl 2,6-cuneanedicarboxylate are disordered; the substitution pattern and structure have been confirmed by determination of the X-ray crystal structure of the corresponding diacid.     

Vapor pressure of selected aliphatic alcohols by ebulliometry. Part 1

Vapor pressures for liquid 2,2-dimethyl-1-propanol (CAS Registry Number 75-84-3), 1-hexanol (CAS Registry Number 111-27-3), 1-heptanol (CAS Registry Number 111-70-6), 1-octanol (CAS Registry Number 111-87-5) and 1-tetradecanol (CAS Registry Number 112-72-1) were measured by the precision comparative ebulliometry over an approximate pressure range from 8 to 100 kPa. The relative uncertainty in pressure is estimated to be less than or equal to 0.05% of the measured value and the absolute uncertainty in temperature is estimated at less than or equal to 0.01 K on ITS-90. The results are represented by the Antoine equation and compared with available literature data. A new transformation of vapor pressure data, which facilitates the detection of systematic errors, is presented.

Thermodynamic Stability of Fenclorim and Clopyralid

The present work reports an experimental thermodynamic study of two nitrogen heterocyclic organic compounds, fenclorim and clopyralid, that have been used as herbicides. The sublimation vapor pressures of fenclorim (4,6-dichloro-2-phenylpyrimidine) and of clopyralid (3,6-dichloro-2-pyridinecarboxylic acid) were measured, at different temperatures, using a Knudsen mass-loss effusion technique. The vapor pressures of both crystalline and liquid (including supercooled liquid) phases of fenclorim were also determined using a static method based on capacitance diaphragm manometers. The experimental results enabled accurate determination of the standard molar enthalpies, entropies and Gibbs energies of sublimation for both compounds and of vaporization for fenclorim, allowing a phase diagram representation of the (p,T) results, in the neighborhood of the triple point of this compound. The temperatures and molar enthalpies of fusion of the two compounds studied were determined using differential scanning calorimetry. The standard isobaric molar heat capacities of the two crystalline compounds were determined at 298.15 K, using drop calorimetry. The gas phase thermodynamic properties of the two compounds were estimated through ab initio calculations, at the G3(MP2)//B3LYP level, and their thermodynamic stability was evaluated in the gaseous and crystalline phases, considering the calculated values of the standard Gibbs energies of formation, at 298.15 K. All these data, together with other physical and chemical properties, will be useful to predict the mobility and environmental distribution of these two compounds.

Molar enthalpies of vaporization of aliphatic alkyl carbonates: dimethyl carbonate [616-38-6], diethyl carbonate [105-58-8], di-n-propyl carbonate [623-96-1], di-n-butyl carbonate [542-52-9], and dibenzyl carbonate [3459-92-5] were obtained from the temperature dependence of the vapour pressure measured by the transpiration method. A large number of the primary experimental results on temperature dependences of vapour pressures have been collected from the literature and have been treated uniformly in order to derive vaporization enthalpies of dialkyl carbonates at the reference temperature 298.15 K. An internal consistency check was performed on enthalpy of vaporization values for dialkyl carbonates studied in this work.
