Thermodynamic properties of organic compounds
We offer possibilities to determine the enthalpy of combustion, the enthalpy of solution, enthalpy of dilution and mixing, heat of chemical reaction, partial molar volumes and heat capacities, thermokinetics of reaction, vapour pressure of solid compound, the enthalpy of sublimation and thermoanalytical determination, e.g. specific heat of solid compounds, temperature and the enthalpy of fusion, determination of thermodynamic parameters under high pressure.

Equipment
  • Isothermal titration calorimeter for determination of binding constants (K), reaction stoichiometry (n), enthalpy (H) and entropy (S) of reaction of complexation (Microcal OMEGA). Specifications: total volume of vessel: 1.3 ml; temperature range: 2 ÷ 80ºC; sensitivity: 0.1 µcal·s-1.
  • Thermal analysis devices: Du Pont Thermal Analyst System 2100; Calvet TG-DSC 111 SETARAM. Specifications (Calvet TG-DSC 111 SETARAM): mass of substance: 0.5÷100 mg; range of temperature: -180 ÷ 800ºC. Specifications of Du Pont Thermal Analyst System 2100: mass of the substance 0.5 ÷ 100 mg; sensitivity (DTA, TGA) 0.4%, (DSC) 1%; range of the temperature (DSC) 180ºC ÷ 700ºC; (DTA) 180ºC ÷ 700ºC; (TGA) 20ºC÷1200ºC.
  • Density measurement used to determination of the apparent volume changes (Densimeter DMA60/602, Anton PAAR). Specifications: accuracy: ±1.5·10-6 g·cm-3; temperature coefficient: -3·10-4 g·cm-3·K-1; pressure coefficient: -5·10-5 g ·cm-3 ·bar-1; sample size: 0.7 cm3; sensitivity: 1 g·cm-1.
