Thermodynamic properties of triphenylantimony dibenzoate

Resumo

The temperature dependence of the heat capacity of triphenylantimony dibenzoate Ph₃Sb(OC(O)Ph)₂ is studied in the range of 6–480 K by means of precision adiabatic vacuum calorimetry and differential scanning calorimetry. The melting of the compound is observed in this temperature range, and its standard thermodynamic characteristics are identified and analyzed. Ph₃Sb(OC(O)Ph)₂ is obtained in a metastable amorphous state in a calorimeter. The standard thermodynamic functions of Ph₃Sb(OC(O)Ph)₂ in the crystalline and liquid states are calculated from the obtained experimental data: C_p^°(T), H°(T)–H°(0), S°(T), and G°(T)–H°(0) for the region from T → 0 to 480 K. The standard entropy of formation of the compound in the crystalline state at T = 298.15 K is determined. Multifractal processing of the low-temperature (T < 50 K) heat capacity of the compound is performed. It is concluded that the structure of the compound has a planar chain topology.
