Thermodynamic properties of an alternating copolymer of bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene and carbon monoxide in a region from <Emphasis Type="Italic">T</Emphasis> → 0 to 550 K

The temperature dependence of the heat capacity of an alternating copolymer of bicyclo2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene and carbon monoxide in the temperature range 6–550 K (with an error of 0.2–0.5% at 6–350 K and 0.5–1.5% at 330–550 K) was studied by the adiabatic vacuum and dynamic calorimetry. Physical transformations of the copolymer in the studied temperature region were identified, and their thermodynamic characteristics were determined. The combustion energy of the copolymer at 298.15 K was measured in a calorimeter with a static bomb and isothermal jacket. The thermodynamic functions for a region of 0–550 K, enthalpy of combustion, and thermodynamic parameters of copolymer formation from simple substances at T = 298.15 K and p = 101.325 kPa were calculated from the obtained experimental data. The new results and earlier published data were used for the calculation of the thermodynamic characteristics of the alternate copolymerization of bicyclo2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene and CO under standard pressure for a region of 0–350 K for the bulk reaction.
