Vapour pressures and enthalpies of vaporization of a series of δ-lactones

Vapour pressures and molar enthalpies of vaporization of a series of δ-lactones (δ-valerolactone (CAS#542-28-9), δ-hexanolactone (CAS#823-22-3), δ-octanolactone (CAS#698-76-0), δ-nonanolactone (CAS#3301-94-8), and δ-decanolactone (CAS#705-86-2)) have been determined by the transpiration method.

Effect of temperature on the dilution enthalpies of α,ω-amino acids in aqueous solutions

Dilution enthalpies of aqueous solutions of 3-amino propanoic acid, 4-amino butanoic acid, 5-amino pentanoic acid, and 6-amino hexanoic acid were determined at T = (293.15, 298.15, 303.15, and 308.15) K using an LKB flow microcalorimeter. The homotactic interaction coefficients were obtained according to the McMillan–Mayer theory from the experimental data. For all the systems studied, the dilution of α,ω-amino acids in water is an exothermic process; the pair coefficients have positive values which increases with chain length. The obtained values of the interaction coefficients are interpreted in terms of solute–solvent and solute–solute interactions and are used as indicative of hydrophobic behavior of the amino acid studied.     

Dependence of the solution and transfer enthalpies of DL-α-alanyl-DL-α-asparagine on the composition of water-amide binary solvents at 298.15 K

Solution enthalpies of DL-α-alanyl-DL-α-asparagine (AlaAsn) in water-formamide, water-N-methylformamide, water-N,N-dimethylformamide, and water-N,N-dimethylacetamide mixtures were measured in the range of amide mole fractions x ₂ = 0–0.3. The standard enthalpies of solution (Δ_sol H°) and transfer (Δ_tr H°) of AlaAsn from water to the binary solvent and enthalpy coefficients of pair-wise interactions (h _xy ) of AlaAsn with amide molecules were calculated. The influence of the composition of the water-organic mixture on the enthalpy characteristics of AlaAsn is discussed. It is shown that the enthalpy characteristics of solution and transfer of AlaAsn are related to the structure of amides.

Determination of combustion energies and the standard enthalpies of formation for the complexes of RE(Et_2dtc)_3(phen)

Solid complexes, RE(Et2dtc)3(phen) (RE=La, Pr, Nd, Sm-Lu), were synthesized with sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (NaEt2dtc3H2O),1,10-phenanthroline (o-phen·H2O) and hydrated lanthanide chlorides in absolute ethanol.

The standard enthalpies of combustion,ΔcHmθ, and standard enthalpies of formation,ΔfHmθ, were calculated for these complexes, respectively. The experiment results showed the "tripartite effect" of rare earth.     

Thermochemistry of 2,2′-dipyridil N-oxide and 2,2′-dipyridil N,N′-dioxide. The dissociation enthalpies of the N−O bonds

In this paper, the first, second and mean (N?O) bond dissociation enthalpies (BDEs) were derived from the standard (p° = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation, in the gaseous phase, ${\mathrm{\Delta }}_{\text{f}}{H}_{\text{m}}^{°}(\text{g})$, at T = 298.15 K, of 2,2′-dipyridil N-oxide and 2,2′-dipyridil N,N′-dioxide. These values were calculated from experimental thermodynamic parameters, namely from the standard (p° = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation, in the crystalline phase, ${\mathrm{\Delta }}_{\text{f}}{H}_{\text{m}}^{°}(\text{cr})$, at T = 298.15 K, obtained from the standard molar enthalpies of combustion, ${\mathrm{\Delta }}_{\text{c}}{H}_{\text{m}}^{°}$, measured by static bomb combustion calorimetry, and from the standard molar enthalpies of sublimation, at T = 298.15 K, determined from Knudsen mass-loss effusion method.

The enthalpies and entropies of pefloxacin dissolution in methanol, ethanol, 1-Propanol, 2-Propanol, acetone, and chloroform at 293.15–323.15 K

The solubilities of pefloxacin in methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, acetone, and chloroform have been determined from 293.15 to 323.15 K by a static equilibrium method. The experimental data were correlated with the modified Apelblat equation. The positive ??_sol H and ??_sol S for each system revealed that pefloxacin dissolution in each solvent is an entropy-driven process.     

Excess enthalpies of dilute aqueous solutions of model peptides and urea at 25°C

Excess enthalpies of four dilute aqueous solutions each containing urea and a model peptide (N-acetyl-N-methylamides of either glycine or L-alanine, N-acetylamides of either L-valine or L-proline) have been determined by calorimetry. These results are compared with the excess enthalpies of aqueous solutions of amides and other uncharged peptides. The second enthalpic virial coefficients are discussed on the basis of McMillan-Mayer theory and additivity of group interactions. The results confirm the preliminary conclusions of previous works in this series, i.e., that peptideurea interactions are water assisted, and an extra contribution appears when more than one peptidic or amidic group is present on the same molecule.     

The estimation of ether’s enthalpies of formation

Taking hydrocarbon as gerneratrix, the differences of enthalpies of formation of ether and their corresponding generatrixes were compared and concluded and the equation to estimate ether’s enthalpy of formation, which was Δ_f H _e^°/(kJ/mol) = K(Δ_f H _m^ℴ − 90 + A) was obtained. The results can be elucidated with bond dissociation energies data, bond-enthalpy of formation method, induction effect and conjugative effect. The more essential account to explain the results can be got by using quantum chemistry theories, etc. Using replacement and comparison method, the way of estimation of organic compounds’ thermodynamic properties including enthalpy of formation can be obtained either. The article is published in the original.
