Thermodynamic properties of the first three members of the symmetrical alkane disulfide series were investigated. Measurements were made of the heat of vaporization and vapor heat capacity of 2,3-dithiabutane; the low temperature thermal properties, vapor pressure and entropy of 4,5-dithiaoctane; and the heats of combustion and formation of 2,3-dithiabutane, 3,4-dithiahexane and 4,5-dithiaoctane. The new experimental data were used in revising previously published tables of thermodynamic functions for 2,3-dithiabutane and 3,4-dithiahexane. A table of thermodynamic functions for 4,5-dithiaoctane was calculated by an incremental method. Values of the heat, free energy and logarithm of the equilibrium constant of formation between 0 and 1000/sup 0/K were computed for the three compounds. The S-S thermochemical bond energy is the same in the three disulfides as in S/sub 3/ within experimental uncertainty.
