Calorimetric study of the glassy state XII. Plural glass-transition phenomena of ethanol

Ethanol was found to give a metastable crystalline phase (crystal-II) when the liquid was cooled at a moderate rate. Glassy states of liquid and of newly found crystal-II were obtained in the calorimeter cell by controlling the cooling rate of the liquid. The heat capacities of these phases as well as that of the stable crystal-I were measured by an adiabatic calorimeter in the temperature range between 14 and 300 K. The glass transition temperature T_g, the heat-capacity jump at T_g, and the residual entropy were found to be 97 K, 35.3 J K^?1 mol^?1, and 8.93 J K^?1 mol^?1 for the glassy liquid, and 97 K, 22.8 J K^?1 mol^?1, and 4.24 J K^?1 mol^?1 for the glassy crystal-II, respectively. The values for the residual entropy are referred to the third-law entropy for crystal-I.The heat capacities reported previously for the supercooled liquid by Gibson et al. and by Parks and Kelley agree well with those for the metastable crystal-II. Those of the supercooled liquid connect smoothly with those obtained for the liquid above the melting temperature. Thus, ethanol is found to be another example of a low-molecular-weight compound which shows multiple glass-transition phenomena.     

Heat capacity of poly(vinyl methyl ether)

The heat capacity of poly(vinyl methyl ether) (PVME) has been measured using adiabatic calorimetry and temperature‐modulated differential scanning calorimetry (TMDSC). The heat capacity of the solid and liquid states of amorphous PVME is reported from 5 to 360 K. The amorphous PVME has a glass transition at 248 K (?25 °C). Below the glass transition, the low‐temperature, experimental heat capacity of solid PVME is linked to the vibrational molecular motion. It can be approximated by a group vibration spectrum and a skeletal vibration spectrum. The skeletal vibrations were described by a general Tarasov equation with three Debye temperatures Θ₁ = 647 K, Θ₂ = Θ₃ = 70 K, and nine skeletal modes. The calculated and experimental heat capacities agree to better than ±1.8% in the temperature range from 5 to 200 K. The experimental heat capacity of the liquid rubbery state of PVME is represented by C_p(liquid) = 72.36 + 0.136 T in J K^?1 mol^?1 and compared to estimated results from contributions of the same constituent groups of other polymers using the Advanced Thermal AnalysiS (ATHAS) Data Bank. The calculated solid and liquid heat capacities serve as baselines for the quantitative thermal analysis of amorphous PVME with different thermal histories. Also, knowing C_p of the solid and liquid, the integral thermodynamic functions of enthalpy, entropy, and free enthalpy of glassy and amorphous PVME are calculated with help of estimated parameters for the crystal. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

水合烟酸铜Cu(Nic)2•H2O(s)(Nic＝烟酸)的合成、表征及热力学性质

近几十年来,烟酸盐类化合物或配合物由于优越的吸收率高和无毒副作用等特点使其在化妆品、药品和食品等领域作为营养添加剂具有重要应用前景。然而,这类化合物的基础热力学数据极其缺乏,从而限制了这类化合物的理论研究和应用开发的深入开展。为此,本论文利用室温固相合成方法和球磨技术合成了一种新化合物Cu(Nic)2•H2O(s),利用化学分析、元素分析、FTIR和X-射线粉末衍射技术表征了它的结构和组成,利用精密自动绝热热量计准确地测量了它在78-400 K温区的摩尔热容。在热容曲线的T ＝ 326-346 K温区观察到一个明显的固-液相变过程。利用相变温区三次重复实验热容的测量结果确定了此相变过程的峰温、相变焓和相变熵分别为：Tfus＝(341.290 ±0.873) K, DfusHm＝(13.582±0.012) kJ×mol-1, DfusSm＝(39.797±0.067) J×K-1×mol-1。通过最小二乘法将相变前和相变后的热容实验值分别拟合成了热容对温度的两个多项式方程。通过热容多项式方程的数值积分,得到了这个化合物的舒平热容值和相对于298.15 K的各种热力学函数值,并且将每隔5 K的热力学函数值列成了表格。     

Heat capacity of poly(trimethylene terephthalate)

The heat capacity of poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT) has been measured using adiabatic calorimetry, standard differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and temperature-modulated differential scanning calorimetry (TMDSC). The heat capacities of the solid and liquid states of semicrystalline PTT are reported from 5 to 570 K. The semicrystalline PTT has a glass transition temperature of 331 K. Between 340 and 480 K, PTT can show exothermic ordering depending on the prior degree of crystallization. The melting endotherm of semicrystalline samples occurs between 480 and 505 K, with a typical onset temperature of 489 K (216°C). The heat of fusion of the semicrystalline samples is about 15 kJ mol⁻¹. For 100% crystalline PTT the heat of fusion is estimated to be 30 ± 2 kJ mol⁻¹. The heat capacity of solid PTT is linked to an approximate group vibrational spectrum and the Tarasov equation is used to estimate the heat capacity contribution due to skeletal vibrations (θ₁ = 550.5 K and θ₂ = θ₃ = 51 K, N_skeletal = 19). The calculated and experimental heat capacities agree to better than ±3% between 5 and 300 K. The experimental heat capacities of liquid PTT can be expressed by: $ C^L_p(exp) $ = 211.6 + 0.434 T J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹ and compare to ±0.5% with estimates from the ATHAS data bank using contributions of other polymers with the same constituent groups. The glass transition temperature of the completely amorphous polymer is estimated to be 310–315 K with a ΔC_p of about 94 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹. Knowing C_p of the solid, liquid, and the transition parameters, the thermodynamic functions enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs function were obtained. With these data one can compute for semicrystalline samples crystallinity changes with temperature, mobile amorphous fractions, and resolve the question of rigid-amorphous fractions.© 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

A novel compound‐monohydrated nickel nicotinate was synthesized by the method of room temperature solid phase synthesis and ball grinder.

Low-temperature heat capacities of 2-chloro-N,N-dimethylnicotinamide were precisely measured with a high-precision automated adiabatic calorimeter over the temperature range from 82 K to 380 K. The compound was observed to melt at （342.15±0.04） K. The molar enthalpy AfusionHm, and entropy of fusion, △fusionSm, as well as the chemical purity of the compound were determined to be （21387±7） J·mol^-1, （62.51±0.01） J·mol^-1·K^-1, （0.9946±0.0005） mass fraction, respectively. The extrapolated melting temperature for the pure compound obtained from fractional melting experiments was （342.25±0.024） K. The thermodynamic function data relative to the reference temperature 298.15 K were calculated based on the heat capacity measurements in the temperature range from 82 to 325 K. The thermal behavior of the compound was also investigated by different scanning calorimetry.     

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.

Low-Temperature Heat Capacities and Thermodynamic Properties of Octahydrated Barium Dihydroxide,Ba（OH）2·8H2O（s）

Low-temperature heat capacities of octahydrated barium dihydroxide, Ba（OH）2·8H2O（s）, were measured by a precision automated adiabatic calorimeter in the temperature range from T=78 to 370 K. An obvious endothermic process took place in the temperature range of 345-356 K. The peak in the heat capacity curve was correspondent to the sum of both the fusion and the first thermal decomposition or dehydration. The experimental molar heat capacifies in the temperature ranges of 78-345 K and 356-369 K were fitted to two polynomials. The peak temperature, molar enthalpy and entropy of the phase change have been determined to be （355.007±0.076） K, （73.506±0.011） kJ·ol^-1 and （207.140±0.074） J·K^-1·mol^-1, respectively, by three series of repeated heat capacity measurements in the temperature region of 298-370 K. The thermodynamic functions, （Hr-H298.15 k ）and （Sr-S298.15k）, of the compound have been calculated by the numerical integral of the two heat-eapacity polynomials. In addition, DSC and TG-DTG techniques were used for the further study of thermal behavior of the compound. The latent heat of the phase change became into a value larger than that of the normal compound because the melfing process of the compound must be accompanied by the thermal decomposition or dehydration of 71-120.     

Low-temperature heat capacity and standard thermodynamic functions of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium lactate

The heat capacities of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium lactate ionic liquids ([C₄mim][Lact]) were measured with a highly accurate automatic adiabatic calorimeter over the temperature range from 79 to 406 K. And the experimental values of molar heat capacities were fitted to a polynomial equation using least square method in the appropriate temperature ranges. The standard molar heat capacity was determined to be 1734.46?±?5.12 J K^?1 mol^?1 at 298.15 K. The molar enthalpy and molar entropy of the transition were determined to be 15.575?±?0.045 and 64.44?±?0.14 J K^?1 mol^?1. Other thermodynamic properties, such as (H_T???H_298.15) and (S_T???S_298.15), were also calculated. Furthermore, when the temperature reaches 241.87 K, the strongest peaks appeared by analysis of the heat capacity curve. This phenomenon could be explained from the interionic interaction, which is the hydrogen bond between the anions and cations.     

Chemical equilibria 6. Measurement of equilibrium constants for the dehydrogenation of 2-methylpropan-1-ol by a vapour-flow technique

Equilibrium constants for 2-methylpropan-1-ol + 2-methylpropanal + hydrogen have been calculated from measurements of the composition of mixtures formed by passing the vapour over a catalyst at several temperatures in the range 473 to 563 K. Equations relating the changes in enthalpy and entropy of the dehydrogenation reaction to temperature were derived from the equilibrium constants with the aid of heat capacities. By coupling these changes with other thermodynamic data, the standard enthalpy of formation and the standard entropy of 2-methylpropanal at 298.15 K were calculated to be ?(215.7 ± 1.3) kJ mol^?1 and (331.2 ± 1.7) J K^?1 mol^?1 respectively, in the gas state, and ?(247.3 ± 1.8) kJ mol^?1 and (238.3 ± 4.4) J K^?1 mol^?1 respectively, in the liquid state.     

The heat capacity of solid and liquid polystyrene,p-substituted polystyrenes,and crosslinked polystyrenes

Heat capacities were measured for poly(4-methylstyrene) [300–500K], poly(4-fluorostyrene) [130–350K], poly(4-chlorostyrene) [300–550K], poly(4-bromostyrene) [300–550K], poly(4-iodostyrene) [300–550K] and poly(styrene-co-divinylbenzene) with 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 wt.% divinylbenzene (technical grade) [300–550K]. Polystyrene and poly(α-methylstyrene) data were found to match the ATHAS data bank collections. Crosslinking causes no significant change in heat capacity, but substitution does. The heat capacities in the solid state are evaluated using approximate group and skeletal vibration spectra. Glass transitions are discussed, and full thermodynamic functions (C_p, H, S, G) can be calculated for amorphous, crystalline, and deuterated polystyrene as well as poly(α-methylstyrene). Glassy polystyrene has an entropy of 7.5 J K^?1 mol^?1 at absolute zero. Changes of the heat capacity at the glass transition are explained and are predicted to go to zero for 50% poly(styrene-co-divinylbenzene) at about 550K.

Heat capacities and entropies of liquid,high-melting-point polymers containing phenylene groups (PEEK,PC, and PET)

The heat capacity at constant pressure of liquid PEEK, poly(oxy-1,4-phenylene-oxy-1,4-phenylene-carbonyl-1,4-phenylene), has been measured by scanning calorimetry from 420 to 680 K, and that of PC, poly(4,4′-isopropylidenediphenylene carbonate), from 325 to 610 K. These new data were combined with data-bank data for PC and PET, poly(ethylene terephthalate), over wide temperature ranges. An addition scheme for liquid heat capacities of similar macromolecules has been obtained. In addition, values of absolute entropy, residual entropy for the glassy state, enthalpy, and Gibbs function are estimated for these three polymers. Both melting and glass transition temperatures have been confirmed. The heat capacity increases at the glass transition temperature have been determined by making use of previously calculated solid-state heat capacities.     

Etude thermique et thermodynamique du cyclohexaphosphate de lithium Li6P6O18·5H2O

We report in this paper the results of our thermal and thermodynamic investigation on lithium cyclohexaphosphate, Li₆P₆O₁₈·5H₂O between 298 and 1007 K. The different transitions with respect to temperature (successive dehydrations, solid-solid transition and melting) were studied with the help of differential thermal analysis and thermogravimetry. The different phases were characterized by X-ray diffraction and by infrared absorption. Finally, the enthalpy of these phasesvs. temperature was measured by isothermal drop calorimetry. Their heat capacities as well as the enthalpies of dehydration, of solid-solid transition and of melting were deduced. We pointed out that the lithium cyclohexaphosphate loses a molecule of water at 333 K (54.3 kJ·mol^?1), three molecules of water at 413 K (151 kJ·mol^?1) and the last one at 488 K (50.6 kJ·mol^?1). The anhydrous lithium cyclohexaphosphate, Li₆P₆O₁₈, give the polyphosphate, LiPO₃, at 708 K (second order transition) and melt at 933 K (24.6 kJ·mol^?1).     

The thermodynamic properties of polytetrafluoroethylene

Polytetrafluoroethylenes of different crystallinity were analyzed between 220 and 700 K by differential scanning calorimetry. A new computer coupling of the standard DSC is described. The measured heat capacity data were combined with all literature data into a recommended set of thermodynamic properties for the crystalline polymer and a preliminary set for the amorphous polymer (heat capacity, enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs energy; range 0–700 K). The crystal heat capacities have been linked to the vibrational spectrum with a θ₃ of 54 K, and θ₁ of 250 K, and a full set of group vibrations. C_v to C_p conversion was possible with a Nernst–Lindemann constant of A = 1.6 × 10^?3 mol K/J. The glass transition was identified as a broad transition between 160 and 240 K with a ΔC_p of 9.4 J/K mol. The room-temperature transitions at 292 and 303 K have a combined heat of transition of 850 J/mol and an entropy of transition of 2.90 J/K mol. The equilibrium melting temperature is 605 K with transition enthalpy and entropy of 4.10 kj/mol and 6.78 J/K mol, respectively. The high-temperature crystal from is shown to be a condis crystal (conformationally disordered), and for the samples discussed, the crystallinity model holds.     

Thermodynamic properties of the binary mixture of water and <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-butanol

The molar heat capacities of the binary mixture composed of water and n-butanol were measured with an adiabatic calorimeter in the temperature range 78–320 K. The functions of the heat capacity with respect to thermodynamic temperature were established. A glass transition, solid–solid phase transition and solid–liquid phase transition were observed. The corresponding enthalpy and entropy of the solid–liquid phase transition were calculated, respectively. The thermodynamic functions relative to a temperature of 298.15 K were derived based on the relationships of the thermodynamic functions and the function of the measured heat capacity with respect to temperature.     

Thermodynamics of the lanthanide halides I. Heat capacities and Schottky anomalies of LaCl3, PrCl3, and NdCl3 from 5 to 350 K

The heat capacities of LaCl₃, PrCl₃, and NdCl₃ have been measured from 5 to 350 K by adiabatic calorimetry. No co-operative thermal anomalies were seen in the temperature range investigated but substantial magnetic heat-capacity contributions of the non-cooperative (Schottky) type were found. Subtraction of the heat capacity of the diamagnetic and isostructural LaCl₃ from those of the paramagnetic members yields experimental Schottky heat-capacity contributions which are compared with heat capacities derived from spectroscopically determined energy levels. Small discrepancies between the calculated and experimental contributions are probably due to differences in lattice heat capacities between LaCl₃ and the others. The values of {(S^o(298.15 K) ? S^o(0)}/cal_th K^?1 mol^?1 are for LaCl₃ and NdCl₃, 32.88 and 36.67. Due to the possibility of a low-temperature phase transition, the entropy of PrCl₃ covers only the experimental range of this research and that of Colwell, Mangum, and Utton. {S^o(298.15 K) ? S^o(0.294 K)} for PrCl₃ is 36.64 cal_th K^?1 mol^?1.
