Abstract

Enthalpies and entropies of sublimation for N-acetylglycine amide (NAGA), N-acetyl-L-alanine amide (L-NAAA), and N-acetyl-D-leucine amide (D-NALA) were determined from the dependence of their vapour pressures on temperature, as measured by the torsion-effusion method.

Enthalpies and temperatures of fusion were measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and entropies of fusion were derived. No solid-to-solid transitions were detected from r.t. to fusion. Enthalpies of sublimation and fusion were combined to evaluate enthalpies of vaporization of the melts.

The experimental results decreased inversely to the molecular mass. An interpretation of this trend in terms of the crystalline structure of these compounds is proposed.

Zusammenfassung

Auf Grund der Abhängigkeit des Dampfdruckes von der Temperatur, gemessen mit Hilfe eines Torsions-Effusions-Verfahrens, konnten die Sublimierungsenthalpien und -entropien von N-Azetylglycinamid (NAGA), N-Azetyl-L-alaninamid (L-NAAA) und N-Azetyl-D-leucinamid (D-NALA) bestimmt werden. Schmelztemperatur und Schmelzwärme wurden mit einem Differential Scanning Kalorimeter gemessen und die Schmelzentropie errechnet. Es konnten keine fest- fest Phasenübergänge festgestellt werden. Zur Abschätzung der Verdampfungsenthalpie der Schmelze wurde eine Kombination von Schmelz- und Sublimierungsenthalpie verwendet. Die experimentellen Werte sinken umgekehrt zur molaren Masse. Zur Erklärung dieser Tendenz wird ein auf der Kristallstruktur beruhendes Modell empfohlen.

Резюме

Исходя из измеренной температурной зависимости давлени я паров амидов N-ацетил глицина, N-ацетил-Ь-аланина и N-ац етил-D-лейцина, найдены энтальпии и энтропии из сублимаций. С помощью дифференциальной ск анирующей калориметрии были оп ределены энтальпии и температ уры плавления, а также установлены энтропи и плавления. При этом н е было обнаружено твер дотельных переходов. Энтальпии сублимации и плавлен ия были объединены с целью оп ределения энтальпий испарения расплавов. Экспериме нтальные величины уменьшалис ь обратно пропорцион ально молекулярному весу. И сходя из кристаллической стр уктуры этих соединен ий, предложена интерпре тация этого явления.
