Thermochemical study of 1-acetyl vinyl p-nitrobenzoate: vinyl bond enthalpy in captodative olefins.

Captodative olefins are highly reactive and selective substrates in Diels-Alder and 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions. Seeking an explanation of this fact based on molecular energetics, the thermochemical analysis of 1-acetyl vinyl p-nitrobenzoate, a captodative olefin, has been performed using semi-micro-combustion calorimetry, effusion measurements through a quartz crystal microbalance, and differential scanning calorimetry. The molar standard combustion energy and enthalpy as well as the molar standard formation enthalpy are reported along with sublimation and melting enthalpies.

Experimental determination of enthalpies of solution of tetraphenyl porphyrin (TPP) and some metal derivatives, in chloroform: interpretation of the solvation processes at a molecular level.

The enthalpies of solution, Delta(sol)H(m), for 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphine (CA registry number 917-23-7, TPP), 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphine of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) (to be written as CoTPP, NiTPP, CuTPP, and ZnTPP) in chloroform, were calorimetrically measured at T = 298 K in the concentration ranging from 3.5 x 10(-5) to 2.8 x 10(-4) mol.

Strength of the Zn-N coordination bond in zinc porphyrins on the basis of experimental thermochemistry.

The compound, 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-methoxyphenyl)porphine zinc(II) (ZnTMPP), was prepared, and its thermochemical properties were experimentally established. The standard molar energy of combustion (Delta(c)U degrees m) was determined from oxygen rotating-bomb combustion calorimetry experiments. The standard molar enthalpies of combustion (Delta(c)H degrees m) and formation (Delta(f)H degrees m) were derived.
