Abstract

Standard molar enthalpies of vaporization/sublimation of nitro and amino-substituted benzaldehydes were obtained from the temperature dependence of vapour pressure measured by the transpiration method. Enthalpies of fusion of these compounds were measured by using DSC. Solution enthalpies of nitro and amino-substituted benzaldehydes were measured by using a solution calorimeter. Available from literature primary experimental results on temperature dependences of vapour pressures have been collected and they have been treated uniformly in order to derive vaporization/sublimation enthalpies at the reference temperature 298.15 K. Standard molar enthalpies of formation of crystalline isomers of nitro-benzaldehydes were measured by using combustion calorimetry. Gas phase molar enthalpies of formation of substituted benzaldehydes were calculated by the high-level quantum-chemical G4 method and they were used for evaluation of available experimental results. A set of thermodynamic properties of substituted benzaldehydes was recommended as reliable reference properties for thermochemical calculations. Simple group-additivity procedures were developed for estimation of vaporization enthalpies, gas-phase, and liquid-phase enthalpies of formation of substituted benzenes.

Introduction

Thermochemistry of substituted benzaldehydes is in disarray. Smoothed data on vapour pressures of isomeric nitro-benzaldehydes can be found in compilations by Stull [1] and Stephenson and Malanowski [2]. Origin, method and sample purity for these data are questionable. Results from combustion experiments on the crystalline nitro- and amino-substituted benzaldehydes reported in the literature [3], [4], [5], [6] seem to agree for each isomer. However, the standard molar enthalpies of formation derived from these results do not meet expectation for a reasonable level, if they are compared to the parent substituted benzenes. This paper extends our previous studies [7], [8], [9], [10] on the systematic investigation of substituent effects on the benzene ring. In this paper we report determination of vapour pressures, vaporization/sublimation enthalpies, fusion enthalpies, and enthalpies of formation of a series of ortho-, meta-, and para-nitro-benzaldehydes, as well as for ortho-, meta-, and para-N,N-dimethylamino-benzaldehydes (see Fig. 1). We used our new experimental results together with the data already available from the literature to obtain consistent data sets on phase transition enthalpies, as well as condensed- and gas-phase enthalpies of formation. The evaluated experimental data were useful for development of group-contributions being necessary for prediction of thermochemical properties of substituted benzenes.

Materials

Samples of 2-, 3-, and 4-nitro-benzaldehydes, as well as of 4-N,N-dimethylamino-benzaldehyde of 0.98–0.99 mass fraction (as stated by the manufacturer) were of commercial origin (see Table 1). Solid samples of substituted benzaldehydes were additionally purified by the fractional sublimation in vacuum. No impurities (greater than 0.0004 mass fraction) were detected in samples used for thermochemical measurements. The degree of purity was determined using a GC equipped with a FID. A capillary

Vapour pressures

Temperature dependences of vapour pressures pi for the substituted benzaldehydes measured in this work by the transpiration (see Table 2) were approximated with following equation [11]:Rln(pi/pref)=a+bT+Δl,crgCp,molnTT0

In this equation: Δl,crgCp,mo is the difference between the molar heat capacities of the condensed (liquid or crystal) and gas phases; T0 = 298.15 K was adopted in this work; pref=1Pa, R = 8.31446 J·K−1·mol−1 [13], a and b are adjustable parameters. Values of Δl,crgCp,mo were

Conclusions

Vapour pressures and vaporization/sublimation enthalpies of nitro and amino substituted benzaldehydes were measured by the transpiration method. Enthalpies of fusion of these compounds were measured by using DSC. Standard molar enthalpies of formation of 2-, 3-, and 4-nitrobenzaldehydes were measured by the combustion calorimetry. The consistent set of vapour pressures, standard molar enthalpies of vaporization/sublimation, standard molar enthalpies of fusion, and standard molar enthalpies of

      Recently, Siewert et al. [58] determined the sublimation and vaporization vapor pressures of 4-(dimethylamino)benzaldehyde using the transpiration method (represented in Fig. 3). When extrapolated to the temperature 298.15 K, the mean value of the sublimation vapor pressures determined in this work through the Knudsen effusion and static methods, (pmean = 3.9 × 10−2) Pa is in excellent agreement with the one obtained using the vapor pressure equations reported by the authors (pmean = 4.3 × 10−2) Pa, and the enthalpies of sublimation differ in 2.2 kJmol−1 [58]. Concerning the vaporization results, the mean value of the enthalpy of vaporization determined by Siewert et al. [58] is equal, inside the experimental uncertainty, to the result derived in this study through static measurements.
