Thermodynamic properties of first- and third-generation carbosilane dendrimers with terminal phenyldioxolane groups

Resumo

The heat capacities of first- and third-generation carbosilane dendrimers with terminal phenyldioxolane groups are studied as a function of temperature via vacuum and differential scanning calorimetry in the range of 6 to 520 K. Physical transformations that occur in the above temperature range are detected and their standard thermodynamic characteristics are determined and analyzed. Standard thermodynamic functions C_p^ο(T), [H°(T) − H°(0)], [S°(T) − S°(0)], and [G°(T) − H°(0)] in the temperature range of T → 0 to 520 K for different physical states and the standard entropies of formation of the studied dendrimers at T = 298.15 K are calculated, based on the obtained experimental data.
