Abstract
The enthalpies of combustion and sublimation or vaporization of the title compounds were determined on milligram samples and used to derive, at 298.15 K, the enthalpies of formation in the gaseous phase and the enthalpies of atomization. The previous conclusions drawn from the investigation of the lower ω-alkanediols were confirmed: the enthalpy of a hydrogen bond in solid ω-alkanediols amounts to 27 kJ mol−1 and the intramolecular C—C and C—OH bond enthalpies to 343.2 and 819.5 kJ mol−1, respectively. The enthalpies of fusion and the triple point temperatures of the ω-alkanediols [Formula: see text] are reported and discussed. Keywords: ω-alkanediols, enthalpies of formation, triple point temperatures, differential thermal analysis, calorimetry.
