  • Determination of Sublimation Enthalpy and Vapor Pressure for Inorganic and Metal-Organic Compounds by Thermogravimetric Analysis∗
    Connexions module: m33649 1 Determination of Sublimation Enthalpy and Vapor Pressure for Inorganic and Metal-Organic Compounds by Thermogravimetric Analysis∗ Andrew R. Barron This work is produced by The Connexions Project and licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution License y 1 Introduction Metal compounds and complexes are invaluable precursors for the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of metal and non-metal thin lms. In general, the precursor compounds are chosen on the basis of their relative volatility and their ability to decompose to the desired material under a suitable temperature regime. Unfortunately, many readily obtainable (commercially available) compounds are not of sucient volatility to make them suitable for CVD applications. Thus, a prediction of the volatility of a metal-organic compounds as a function of its ligand identity and molecular structure would be desirable in order to determine the suitability of such compounds as CVD precursors. Equally important would be a method to determine the vapor pressure of a potential CVD precursor as well as its optimum temperature of sublimation. It has been observed that for organic compounds it was determined that a rough proportionality exists between a compound's melting point and sublimation enthalpy; however, signicant deviation is observed for inorganic compounds. Enthalpies of sublimation for metal-organic compounds have been previously determined through a vari- ety of methods, most commonly from vapor pressure measurements using complex experimental systems such as Knudsen eusion, temperature drop microcalorimetry and, more recently, dierential scanning calorime- try (DSC). However, the measured values are highly dependent on the experimental procedure utilized. For example, the reported sublimation enthalpy of Al(acac)3 (Figure 1a, where M = Al, n = 3) varies from 47.3 to 126 kJ/mol.

  • Structural Transformation in Supercooled Water Controls the Crystallization Rate of Ice
    Structural transformation in supercooled water controls the crystallization rate of ice. Emily B. Moore and Valeria Molinero* Department of Chemistry, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT 84112-0580, USA. Contact Information for the Corresponding Author: VALERIA MOLINERO Department of Chemistry, University of Utah 315 South 1400 East, Rm 2020 Salt Lake City, UT 84112-0850 Phone: (801) 585-9618; fax (801)-581-4353 Email: [email protected] 1 One of water’s unsolved puzzles is the question of what determines the lowest temperature to which it can be cooled before freezing to ice. The supercooled liquid has been probed experimentally to near the homogeneous nucleation temperature T H≈232 K, yet the mechanism of ice crystallization—including the size and structure of critical nuclei—has not yet been resolved. The heat capacity and compressibility of liquid water anomalously increase upon moving into the supercooled region according to a power law that would diverge at T s≈225 K,1,2 so there may be a link between water’s thermodynamic anomalies and the crystallization rate of ice. But probing this link is challenging because fast crystallization prevents experimental studies of the liquid below T H. And while atomistic studies have captured water crystallization3, the computational costs involved have so far prevented an assessment of the rates and mechanism involved. Here we report coarse-grained molecular simulations with the mW water model4 in the supercooled regime around T H, which reveal that a sharp increase in the fraction of four-coordinated molecules in supercooled liquid water explains its anomalous thermodynamics and also controls the rate and mechanism of ice formation.

  • Enthalpy of Sublimation in the Study of the Solid State of Organic Compounds
    J. Phys. Chem. B 2005, 109, 18055-18060 18055 Enthalpy of Sublimation in the Study of the Solid State of Organic Compounds. Application to Erythritol and Threitol A. J. Lopes Jesus, Luciana I. N. Tome´, M. Ermelinda Euse´bio,* and J. S. Redinha Department of Chemistry, UniVersity of Coimbra, 3004-535, Coimbra, Portugal ReceiVed: March 30, 2005; In Final Form: July 5, 2005 The enthalpies of sublimation of erythritol and L-threitol have been determined at 298.15 K by calorimetry. The values obtained for the two diastereomers differ from one another by 17 kJ mol-1. An interpretation of these results is based on the decomposition of this thermodynamic property in a term coming from the intermolecular interactions of the molecules in the crystal (∆intH°) and another one related with the conformational change of the molecules on going from the crystal lattice to the most stable forms in the gas phase (∆confH°). This last term was calculated from the values of the enthalpy of the molecules in the gas state and of the enthalpy of the isolated molecules with the crystal conformation. Both quantities were obtained by density functional theory (DFT) calculations at the B3LYP/6-311G++(d,p) level of theory. The results obtained in this study show that the most important contribution to the differences observed in the enthalpy of sublimation are the differences in the enthalpy of conformational change (13 kJ mol-1) rather than different intermolecular forces exhibited in the solid phase. This is explained by the lower enthalpy of threitol in the gas phase relative to erythritol, which is attributed to the higher strength of the intramolecular hydrogen bonds in the former.

  • The Enthalpy of Sublimation and Lattice Enthalpy of Solid Argon
    The Enthalpy of Sublimation and Lattice Enthalpy of Solid Argon Introduction The solid state is one of the three common states of matter [1]. Like liquids, solids are condensed phases of matter, occupying a volume that is approximately independent of pressure and temperature. Unlike liquids, the particles making up a solid have fixed locations. When the positions occupied by the particles have a regular arrangement in space, the solid possesses a crystal structure [2]. Enthalpy of sublimation Under conditions where a solid and gas are in equilibrium, the conversion of the solid into gas requires the addition of heat. This process M(s) M(g) (1) is defined as sublimation. When carried out at a fixed temperature and pressure, the enthalpy change associated with this process is called the enthalpy of sublimation, Hsub. As is true of other first order phase transitions, the phase boundary separating the solid and gas phases is described by the Clapeyron equation [3], dp/dT = Hpt (2) Tpt(Vpt) Since the same approximations that apply for vaporization also apply for sublimation, eq 2 can be rewritten as d(lnp)/d(1/T) = - Hpt/R (3) the Clausius-Clapeyron equation in differential form. If the temperature and pressure are measured for a pure substance over a range of conditions for which the solid and vapor phases are in equilibrium with one another, the enthalpy of sublimation for the substance can be found from the slope of a plot of ln(p) vs (1/T). Lattice enthalpy The lattice enthalpy () for a solid is the enthalpy change associated with the process in which a solid whose particles are initially at rest is converted into gas phase particles at large separation, so that interaction forces between gas particles are negligible [4].

The molar enthalpies of vaporization of the three isomers at T ) 298.15 K as well as the molar enthalpies of sublimation of two of them (methyl picolinate and methyl nicotinate) were derived from vapor pressure measurements at different temperatures using a static method. The molar enthalpies of vaporization at T ) 298.15 K of methyl picolinate and methyl isonicotinate were also measured using Calvet microcalorimetry. The thermal behavior of the compounds was studied by differential scanning calorimetry, and the temperatures and the molar enthalpies of fusion were determined using this technique. The experimental results were used to derive the gaseous standard molar enthalpies of formation, at 298.15 K, of the three pyridinecarboxylic acid methyl ester isomers and the triple points of the ortho and meta isomers. Introduction Thermochemical data are essential for the understanding of the relations between the structure and reactivity of molecules, and that reason justifies the importance of the study of key compounds from several classes of compounds because such data permit clarification of the chemical behavior of the corresponding species.

In this work we studied 16 halogen-substituted derivatives of benzene, naphthalene, biphenyl, and anthracene using a new solution calorimetry based approach. Enthalpies of solution at infinite dilution in benzene as well as molar refractions for the chlorine-, bromine-, and iodine-substituted aromatics were measured at 298.15 K. Vaporization and sublimation enthalpies of these compounds at 298.15 K were indirectly derived from the solution calorimetry data. In order to verify results obtained by using solution calorimetry, vaporization/sublimation enthalpies for 1,2-, 1,3-, 1,4-dibromobenzenes, 4-bromobiphenyl, and 4,4′-dibromobiphenyl were additionally measured by using the well established transpiration method. Experimental data available in the literature were collected and evaluated in this work for the sake of comparison with our own results. Vaporization and sublimation enthalpies of halogen-substituted aromatics under study derived by using solution calorimetry approach have been in a good agreement with those measured by conventional methods. This fact approves using of solution calorimetry for determination or validation of sublimation/vaporization enthalpies for different aromatic compounds at reference temperature 298.15 K, where the conventional experimental data are absent or in disarray.
