Abstract: | The enthalpy and entropy of sorption of methylene units in the homologous series of n-alkyl acetates; methyl, n-butyl, and phenyl n-alkyl ketones; and the methyl esters and chloroanhydrides of n-aliphatic carboxylic acids have been determined on an SE-54 capillary column. The enthalpy of sorption of the first methylene unit is anomalously high when the growing n-alkyl chain is connected directly to a carbonyl group. This effect is a result of intramolecular interaction between neighboring methyl and carbonyl groups. It has been shown by measurement of the enthalpy and entropy of sorption of the difluoromethylene unit in the series of n-hexyl esters of perfluorinated carboxylic acids that for these compounds the effect is absent. The intramolecular interaction was found to increase in the order methyl butyl ketone < methyl phenyl ketone < methyl acetate < acetyl chloride < acetone. |
