Determination of ideal-gas enthalpies of formation for key compounds: The 1988 project results

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6947241
The results of a study aimed at improvement of group contribution methodology for estimation of thermodynamic properties of organic substances are reported. Specific weakness where particular group-contribution terms were unknown, or estimated because of lack of experimental data, are addressed by experimental studies of enthalpies of combustion in the condensed phase and vapor-pressure measurements. Ideal-gas enthalpies of formation are reported for 3-methylbuta-1,2-diene; 2,5-dimethylhexa-2,4-diene; acetaldoxime; N,N-diethylhydroxylamine; 1-methylpyrrolidin-2-one; and phenanthrene. Solid and liquid-phase enthalpies of formation at 298.15 K are determined for benzamide. Ring corrections, group terms, and next-nearest-neighbor interaction terms useful in the application of group contribution correlations are derived. 54 refs., 2 figs., 21 tabs.
