The heats of combustion of five aromatic fluorine compounds were determined by a rotating-bomb method of combustion calorimetry. The suitability of m-trifluorotoluic acid (..cap alpha.., ..cap alpha.., ..cap alpha..-trifluoro-m-toluic acid) as a reference substance for the combustion calorimetry of organic fluorine compounds was investigated. The following values, in kcal. mole/sup -1/, are reported for the standard heats of formation, ..delta..Hf/sup 0//sub 298.15/, from graphite and gaseous hydrogen, oxygen, and fluorine: 4(fuorotoluene(g), -34.01; 1,2-difluorobenzene(g), -67.65; 1,3-difluorobenzene(g), -71.35, 1,4-difluorobenzene(g), -70.69, and m-trifluorotoluic acid(c), -251.78.
