Low-temperature heat capacity of L- and DL-phenylglycines

Heat capacity of crystalline L- and DL-phenylglycines was measured in the temperature range from 6 to 305?K. For L-phenylglycine, no anomalies in the C _p (T) dependence were observed. For DL-phenylglycine, however, an anomaly in the temperature range 50?C75?K with a maximum at about 60?K was registered. The enthalpy and the entropy changes corresponding to this anomaly were estimated as 20?J?mol^?1 and 0.33?J?K^?1 mol^?1, respectively. In the temperature range 205?C225?K, an unusually large dispersion of the experimental points and a small change in the slope of the C _p (T) curve were noticed. Thermodynamic functions for L- and DL-phenylglycines in the temperature range 0?C305?K were calculated. At 298.15?K, the values of heat capacity, entropy, and enthalpy are equal to 179.1, 195.3?J?K^?1 mol^?1, and 28590?J?mol^?1 for L-phenylglycine and 177.7, 196.3?J?K^?1 mol^?1 and 28570?J?mol^?1 for DL-phenylglycine. For both L- and DL-phenylglycine, the C _p (T) at very low temperatures does not follow the Debye law C ?C T ³ . The heat capacity C _p (T) is slightly higher for L-phenylglycine, than for the racemic DL-crystal, with the exception of the phase transition region. The difference is smaller than was observed previously for the L-/DL-cysteines, and considerably smaller, than that for L-/DL- serines.

Thermodynamic and kinetic behaviour of salicylsalicylic acid

The thermal behaviour of salicylsalicylic acid (CAS number 552-94-3) was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The endothermic melting peak and the fingerprint of the glass transition were characterised at a heating rate of 10°C min^-1. The melting peak showed an onset at T _on = 144°C (417 K) and a maximum intensity at T _max = 152°C (425 K), while the onset of the glass transition signal was at T _on = 6°C. The melting enthalpy was found to be Δ_mH = 28.9±0.3 kJ mol^-1, and the heat capacity jump at the glass transition was ΔC _P = 108.1±0.1 J K^-1mol^-1. The study of the influence of the heating rate on the temperature location of the glass transition signal by DSC, allowed the determination of the activation energy at the glass transition temperature (245 kJ mol^-1), and the calculation of the fragility index of salicyl salicylate (m = 45). Finally, the standard molar enthalpy of formation of crystalline monoclinic salicylsalicylic acid at T = 298.15 K, was determined as Δ_fH_m ^o(C₁₄H₁₀O₅, cr) = - (837.6±3.3) kJ mol^-1, by combustion calorimetry.

Thermoanalytical and spectroscopic studies on different crystal forms of nevirapine

This study is aimed at exploring the utility of thermoanalytical methods in the characterization of various polymorphs and solvates of nevirapine. The different forms obtained by recrystallization of nevirapine from various solvents showed morphological differences in SEM. The presence of polymorphic forms is suggested by single sharp melting endotherm different from original sample in DSC and no mass loss in TG, while appearance of desolvation peak in TG indicated the formation of solvates. The higher desolvation temperatures of all the solvates than their respective boiling point indicate tighter binding of solvent. The changes in the crystal lattice were demonstrated by X-ray powder diffraction studies. The enthalpy of fusion rule indicated the existence of monotropy in polymorphic pairs I/O and II/O, while I/II is enantiotropically related. The enthalpy of solution, an indirect measure of the lattice energy of a solid, was well correlated with the crystallinity of all the solid forms obtained. The magnitude of ΔH _sol was found to be ?14.26  kJ mol^?1 for Form V and ?8.29  kJ mol^?1 for Form O, exhibiting maximum ease of molecular release from the lattice in Form V. The transition temperature was found to be higher than the melting of both the forms except for polymorphic pair I/II providing complementary evidence for the existence of monotropy as well as enantiotropy in these polymorphic pairs.

Effect of Molecular Mass on the Melting Temperature,Enthalpy and Entropy of Hydroxy-Terminated PEO

This paper studies the effect of molecular mass on the melting temperature, enthalpy and entropy of hydroxy-terminated poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO). It aims to correlate the thermal behaviour of PEO polymers and their variation of molecular mass (MW). Samples ranging from 1500 to 200,000 isothermally treated at 373 K during 10 min, were investigated using DSC and Hot Stage Microscopy (HSM). On the basis of DSC and HSM results, melting temperatures were determined, and melting enthalpies and entropies were calculated. Considering the melting temperatures, it was found that the maximum or critical value of MW was found around 4000, and then these remain almost constant. This behaviour was interpreted assuming that lower MW fractions (MW<4000) crystallize in the form of extended chains and higher MW fractions (MW>4000), as folded chains. The melting enthalpies showed a scattering effect at least up to MW 35,000. It was difficult to obtain any relationship between melting enthalpies in J g^–1 and MW. These variations seem to be of statistical nature. Corrected enthalpy data on a molar basis (kJ mol^–1) exhibited a linear relationship with MW. Considering the solid—liquid equilibrium, the melting entropies (in kJ mol^–1) were calculated. These values were more negative as compared with molar enthalpy increases. It was explained because the changes in melting temperatures are much smaller than those observed in the enthalpy values. Linear relationship between enthalpies andentropies as a function of MW was deduced.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.
