ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: The aim of the current work was to determine thermodynamical properties of 5-(nitrophenyl)-2-furaldehyde oximes and 3-[5-(nitrolphenyl)-2-furyl]acrylic acids. RESULTS: The temperature dependences of saturated vapor pressures of 5-(nitrophenyl)-2-furaldehyde oximes and 3-[5-(nitrolphenyl)-2-furyl]acrylic acids were determined by the Knudsen effusion method. The results are presented by the Clapeyron-Clausius equation in linear form, and via this form, the standard enthalpies of sublimation of compounds were calculated at 298.15 K. The standard molar formation enthalpies of compounds in crystalline state at 298.15 K were determined indirectly from the corresponding standard molar combustion enthalpy, obtained using combustion bomb calorimetry. The non-nearest neighbour interactions (strain) in molecule were defined. The ideal-gas enthalpies of investigated compounds formation and the data available from the literature were used for calculation of group-additivity parameters and the correction terms useful in the application of the Benson correlation. CONCLUSION: Determining the thermodynamic properties for these compounds will contribute to solving practical problems pertaining to optimization processes of their synthesis, purification and application. It will also provide a more thorough insight regarding the theoretical knowledge of their nature and are necessary for the application of the Benson group-contribution correlation for calculation of Δ f H m ( 298.15 K ) o (g)calc.
