Thermodynamic properties of BaCeO3 and BaZrO3 at low temperatures

Specific heat capacities (C_p) of polycrystalline samples of BaCeO₃ and BaZrO₃ have been measured from about 1.6 K up to room temperature by means of adiabatic calorimetry. We provide corrected experimental data for the heat capacity of BaCeO₃ in the range T < 10 K and, for the first time, contribute experimental data below 53 K for BaZrO₃. Applying Debye's T³-law for T → 0 K, thermodynamic functions as molar entropy and enthalpy are derived by integration. We obtain C_p = 114.8 (±1.0) J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹, S° = 145.8 (±0.7) J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ for BaCeO₃ and C_p = 107.0 (±1.0) J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹, S° = 125.5 (±0.6) J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ for BaZrO₃ at 298.15 K. These results are in overall agreement with previously reported studies but slightly deviating, in both cases. Evaluations of C_p(T) yield Debye temperatures and identify deviations from the simple Debye-theory due to extra vibrational modes as well as anharmonicity. The anharmonicity turns out to be more pronounced at elevated temperatures for BaCeO₃. The characteristic Debye temperatures determined at T = 0 K are Θ₀ = 365 (±6) K for BaCeO₃ and Θ₀ = 402 (±9) K for BaZrO₃.

Endo-Tricyclo[5.2.1.0^2,6]decane (CAS 6004-38-2) is an important intermediate compound for synthesizing diamantane. The lack of data on the thermodynamic properties of the compound limits its development and application. In this study, endo-Tricyclo[5.2.1.0^2,6]decane was synthesized and the low temperature heat capacities were measured with a high-precision adiabatic calorimeter in the temperature range from (80 to 360) K. Two phase transitions were observed: the solid-solid phase transition in the temperature range from (198.79 to 210.27) K, with peak temperature 204.33 K; the solid-liquid phase transition in the temperature range from 333.76 K to 350.97 K, with peak temperature 345.28 K. The molar enthalpy increments, ΔH_m, and entropy increments, ΔS_m, of these phase transitions are ΔH_m=2.57 kJ · mol⁻¹ and ΔS_m=12.57 J · K⁻¹ · mol⁻¹ for the solid-solid phase transition at 204.33 K, and, Δ_fusH_m=3.07 kJ · mol⁻¹ and Δ_fusS_m=8.89 J · K⁻¹ · mol⁻¹ for the solid-liquid phase transition at 345.28 K. The thermal stability of the compound was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis. TG result shows that endo-Tricyclo[5.2.1.0^2,6]decane starts to sublime at 300 K and completely changes into vapor when the temperature reaches 423 K, reaching the maximal rate of weight loss at 408 K.

Structural studies of cyclic ureas: 3. Enthalpy of formation of barbital

A thermochemical and thermophysical study has been carried out for crystalline barbital [5,5′-diethylbarbituric acid]. The thermochemical study was made by static bomb combustion calorimetry, from which the standard () molar enthalpy of formation of the crystalline barbital, at T = 298.15 K, was derived as −(753.0 ± 1.8) kJ · mol⁻¹. The thermophysical study was made by differential scanning calorimetry over the temperature interval (265 to 470) K. A solid–solid phase transition was found at T = 413.3 K.

The H_m^E curves are always positive, with maxima varying from 393 J mol⁻¹ (1,3-dioxolane) to 658 J mol⁻¹ (oxolane), showing asymmetrical trends. The effect of the temperature is well marked on the calorimetric data that increase as the temperature is increased. The Redlich-Kister polynomial was used to estimate the binary fitting parameters. Root-mean-square deviations from the regression lines are reported.
