Heat capacities of a series of terminal linear alkyldiamides determined by DSC

Molar heat capacities of twelve linear alkane-α,ω-diamides H₂NOC-(CH₂)_(n-2)-CONH₂, (n=2 to 12 and n=14) were measured by differential scanning calorimetry at T=183 to 323 K. Heat flow rate calibration of the Mettler DSC 30 calorimeter was carried out by using benzoic acid as reference material. The calibration was checked by determining the molar heat capacity of urea in the same temperature range as that of measurements. The molar heat capacities of alkane-α,ω-diamides increased in function of temperature and fitted into linear equations. Smoothed values of C _p,m at 298.15 K displayed a linear increase with the number of carbon atoms. The C _p,m contribution of CH₂ group was (22.6±0.4) J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹, in agreement with our previous results concerning linear alkane-a,ω-diols and primary alkylamides as well as the literature data on various series of linear alkyl compounds.

Hydration heat capacities of hydrophobic solutes at 248–373 K

A new equation is suggested to define the temperature dependence of the Gibbs energy of hydration of hydrophobic substances: ΔG ⁰ = b ₀ + b ₁ T + b ₂lnT. According to this equation, the hydration heat capacity is in inverse proportion to temperature. Consistent values of hydration heat capacity of nonpolar solutes have been obtained for different temperatures using data on solubility and dissolution enthalpy. The contributions of the hydrocarbon radicals and OH group to the heat capacity of hydration of the compounds were found for the temperature range 248–373 K. The hydration heat capacity of the hydroxyl group has a weak dependence on temperature and increases by only 12 J/(mol·K) in the specified temperature interval. Changes in the hydration entropy of hydrophobic and OH groups are calculated for the temperature increasing from 248 K to 373 K.     

Heat capacities of a networked system of single-molecule magnet with three-dimensional structure

A magnetic-fields dependence of heat capacity of [Mn₅(hmp)₄(OH)₂{N(CN)₂}₆]2MeCN·2THF (hmp=hydroxymethylpyridinate) is investigated by the thermal relaxation calorimetry technique. This compound is a three-dimensional system consisting of Mn₄ single-molecule magnet (SMM) units and Mn²⁺ ions, which are linked by the dicyanamide ligands to form a coordination network structure. A sharp peak of C _p being associated with the formation of three-dimensional long-range order is observed around 1.96 K. The thermodynamic discussion based on the magnetic entropy suggests that both SMMs and Mn²⁺ ions are involved in the formation of the anitiferromagnetic spin ordering. However, this long-range ordering is very sensitive to the external magnetic fields which work to change the magnitude of the Zeeman splitting of the SMM levels. The behavior under magnetic fields is similar to that of the two-dimensional Mn₄-network system studied previously.     

Heat capacities and thermodynamic properties of chrysanthemic acid

The heat capacities of chrysanthemic acid in the temperature range from 80 to 400 K were measured with a precise automatic adiabatic calorimeter. The chrysanthemic acid sample was prepared with the purity of 0.9855 mole fraction. A solid-liquid fusion phase transition was observed in the experimental temperature range. The melting point, T _m, enthalpy and entropy of fusion, Δ_fus H _m, Δ_fus S _m, were determined to be 390.741±0.002 K, 14.51±0.13 kJ mol^-1, 37.13±0.34 J mol^-1 K^-1, respectively. The thermodynamic functions of chrysanthemic acid, H _(T)-H_(298.15), S _(T)-S_(298.15) and G _(T)-G ₍₂₉₈.₁₅₎ were reported with a temperature interval of 5 K. The TG analysis under the heating rate of 10 K min^-1 confirmed that the thermal decomposition of the sample starts at ca. 410 K and terminates at ca. 471 K. The maximum decomposition rate was obtained at 466 K. The purity of the sample was determined by a fractional melting method.

Heat capacities of aqueous solutions of amino acid and dipeptide derivatives of fullerene

The concentration dependences of heat capacities of aqueous solutions of several amino acid and peptide derivatives of fullerene were measured by scanning differential calorimetry at 298 K. The heat capacities for the arginine, alanylalanine, and glycylvaline derivatives dissolved in water depend slightly on concentration. The concentration dependences of the heat capacities of aqueous solutions of the serine and alanine derivatives display extrema.

Heat capacities and thermodynamic properties of 2-benzoylpyridine (C12H9NO)

The heat capacities of 2-benzoylpyridine were measured with an automated adiabatic calorimeter over the temperature range from 80 to 340 K. The melting point, molar enthalpy, Δ_fusH^m, and entropy, Δ_fusS^m, of fusion of this compound were determined to be 316.49±0.04 K, 20.91±0.03 kJ mol^–1 and 66.07±0.05 J mol^–1 K^–1, respectively. The purity of the compound was calculated to be 99.60 mol% by using the fractional melting technique. The thermodynamic functions (H_T–H_298.15) and (S_T–S_298.15) were calculated based on the heat capacity measurements in the temperature range of 80–340 K with an interval of 5 K.

From the DSC curve, the temperature corresponding to the maximum evaporation rate, the molar enthalpy and entropy of evaporation were determined to be 556.3±0.1 K, 51.3±0.2 kJ mol^–1 and 92.2±0.4 J K^–1 mol^–1, respectively, under the experimental conditions.     

Heat capacities, order-disorder transitions, and thermodynamic properties of rare-earth orthoferrites and rare-earth iron garnets

Rare-earth orthoferrites, RFeO₃, and rare-earth iron garnets (RIGs) R₃Fe₅O₁₂ (R=rare-earth elements) were prepared by citrate-nitrate gel combustion method and characterized by X-ray diffraction method. Isobaric molar heat capacities of these oxides were determined by using differential scanning calorimetry from 130 to 860 K. Order-disorder transition temperatures were determined from the heat capacity measurements. The Néel temperatures (T_N) due to antiferromagentic to paramagnetic transitions in orthoferrites and the Curie temperatures (T_C) due to ferrimagnetic to paramagnetic transitions in garnets were determined from the heat capacity data. Both T_N and T_C systematically decrease with increasing atomic number of R across the series. Lattice, electronic and magnetic contributions to the total heat capacity were calculated. Debye temperatures as a function of absolute temperature were calculated for these compounds. Thermodynamic functions like , , H^o, G^o, , , , , and have been generated for the compounds RFeO₃(s) and R₃Fe₅O₁₂(s) based on the experimental data obtained in this study and the available data in the literature.     

Low-temperature heat capacities and standard molar enthalpy of formation of aspirin

Molar heat capacities (C _p,m) of aspirin were precisely measured with a small sample precision automated adiabatic calorimeter over the temperature range from 78 to 383 K. No phase transition was observed in this temperature region. The polynomial function of C _p,m vs. T was established in the light of the low-temperature heat capacity measurements and least square fitting method. The corresponding function is as follows: for 78 K≤T≤383 K, C _p,m/J mol^-1 K^-1=19.086X ⁴+15.951X ³-5.2548X ²+90.192X+176.65, [X=(T-230.50/152.5)]. The thermodynamic functions on the base of the reference temperature of 298.15 K, {ΔH _T -ΔH _298.15} and {S _T-S _298.15}, were derived. Combustion energy of aspirin (Δ_c U _m) was determined by static bomb combustion calorimeter. Enthalpy of combustion (Δ_c H ^o _m) and enthalpy of formation (Δ_f H ^o _m) were derived through Δ_c U _m as - (3945.26±2.63) kJ mol^-1 and - (736.41±1.30) kJ mol^-1, respectively.

Effect of rapid solidification on heat capacities of Al-Sr alloys

Heat capacities of both the ingot-like and melt-spun Al-Sr alloys have been measured through the temperature range 373 to 1060 K using differential scanning calorimetry. The experimental results show that rapid solidification has a slight effect on the temperature dependence of the heat capacities of the Al-Sr alloys. The heat capacities of the melt-spun Al-Sr alloys increase more slowly than those of the ingot-like alloys with increasing temperature from 373 to 900 K. Furthermore, the effect of rapid solidification on the heat capacities becomes more obvious with increasing Sr concentration in the Al-Sr alloys. The data of the heat capacities between 373 and 900 K have been fitted with the least square method and a linear dependence on temperature was assumed for that temperature range.

Low-temperature heat capacities and derived thermodynamic functions of cyclohexane

The low-temperature heat capacities of cyclohexane were measured in the temperature range from 78 to 350 K by means of an automatic adiabatic calorimeter equipped with a new sample container adapted to measure heat capacities of liquids. The sample container was described in detail. The performance of this calorimetric apparatus was evaluated by heat capacity measurements on water. The deviations of experimental heat capacities from the corresponding smoothed values lie within ±0.3%, while the inaccuracy is within ±0.4%, compared with the reference data in the whole experimental temperature range. Two kinds of phase transitions were found at 186.065 and 279.684 K corresponding solid-solid and solid-liquid phase transitions, respectively. The entropy and enthalpy of the phase transition, as well as the thermodynamic functions {H_(T)-H _{298.15 K}} and {S _(T)-S_{298.15 K}}, were derived from the heat capacity data. The mass fraction purity of cyclohexane sample used in the present calorimetric study was determined to be 99.9965% by fraction melting approach.

Heat capacity of poly(butylene terephthalate)

The low‐temperature heat capacity of poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) was measured from 5 to 330 K. The experimental heat capacity of solid PBT, below the glass transition, was linked to its approximate group and skeletal vibrational spectrum. The 21 skeletal vibrations were estimated with a general Tarasov equation with the parameters Θ₁ = 530 K and Θ₂ = Θ₃ = 55 K. The calculated and experimental heat capacities of solid PBT agreed within better than ±3% between 5 and 200 K. The newly calculated vibrational heat capacity of the solid from this study and the liquid heat capacity from the ATHAS Data Bank were applied as reference values for a quantitative thermal analysis of the apparent heat capacity of semicrystalline PBT between the glass and melting transitions as obtained by differential scanning calorimetry. From these results, the integral thermodynamic functions (enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs function) of crystalline and amorphous PBT were calculated. Finally, the changes in the crystallinity with the temperature were analyzed. With the crystallinity, a baseline was constructed that separated the thermodynamic heat capacity from cold crystallization, reorganization, annealing, and melting effects contained in the apparent heat capacity. For semicrystalline PBT samples, the mobile‐amorphous and rigid‐amorphous fractions were estimated to complete the thermal analysis. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Heat capacities of solid copoly(amino acid)s

Recently heat capacities C_p of poly(amino acid)s of all naturally occurring amino acids have been determined. In a second step the heat capacities of four copoly(amino acid) s are studied in this research. Poly(L -lysine · HBr-alanine), poly(L -Lysine · HBr-phenylalanine), poly(sodium-L -glutamate-tyrosine), and poly(L -proline-glycine-proline) heat capacities are measured by differential scanning calorimetry in the temperature range 230–390 K. This is followed by an analysis using approximate group vibrations and fitting the C_p contributions of the skeletal vibrations of the corresponding homopolymers to a two-parameter Tarasov function. Good agreement is found between experiment and calculation. Predictions of heat capacities based on homopoly(amino acid)s are thus expected to be possible for all polypeptides, and enthalpies, entropies, and Gibbs functions for the solid state can be derived.
