  • A thermochemical and theoretical study of the phenylpyridine isomers
    Publication . Ribeiro da Silva, M. A. V.; R. Matos, M. A.; Rio, Carolina; Morais, V. M. F.; Wang, J.; Nichols, G.; Chickos, J. S.
    The standard (p° = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation for 2-, 3-, and 4-phenylpyridine in the gas phase were derived from the standard molar enthalpies of combustion, in oxygen, at 298.15 K, measured by static bomb combustion calorimetry. The standard molar enthalpies of vaporization for 2-, 3-, and 4-phenylpyridine at T = 298.15 K were measured by correlation-gas chromatography. The enthalpy of sublimation of 4-phenylpyridine was obtained as a weighted mean of the value derived from the vaporization and fusion enthalpy values and the value measured directly by Calvet microcalorimetry. The following enthalpies of formation were then derived:  2-phenylpyridine, g = 228.3 ± 5.8 kJ·mol-1; 3-phenylpyridine, g = 240.9 ± 5.5 kJ·mol-1; 4-phenylpyridine, g = 240.0 ± 3.3 kJ·mol-1. The most stable geometries of all phenylpyridine isomers were obtained using both restricted Hartree−Fock (RHF) and density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP) methods. The resulting geometries were then used to obtain estimates of enthalpies of formation of the three isomers of phenylpyridine, which are in good agreement with the experimental values. A theoretical interpretation of the effect of the phenyl ring has on the relative stabilities of the three molecules is presented.
  • Thermochemical and Theoretical Studies of 2-Hydroxyquinoxaline, 2,3-Dihydroxyquinoxaline, and 2-Hydroxy-3-methylquinoxaline
    Publication . Ribeiro da Silva, M. A. V.; Matos, M. A. R.; Rio, Carolina; Miranda, M. S.; Morais, V. M. F.
    The standard (p° = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation for crystalline 2-hydroxyquinoxaline, 2,3-dihydroxyquinoxaline, and 2-hydroxy-3-methylquinoxaline were derived from the standard molar enthalpies of combustion, in oxygen, at T = 298.15 K, measured by static bomb combustion calorimetry. The standard molar enthalpies of sublimation, at T = 298.15 K, of the three compounds were measured by Calvet microcalorimetry. The derived standard molar enthalpies of formation in the gaseous phase are 45.9 ± 4.3 kJ·mol-1 for 2-hydroxyquinoxaline, −(179.2 ± 5.3) kJ·mol-1 for 2,3-dihydroxyquinoxaline, and −(8.8 ± 4.9) kJ·mol-1 for 2-hydroxy-3-methylquinoxaline. In addition, theoretical calculations using the density functional theory and the B3LYP/6-311G** hybrid exchange-correlation energy functional were performed for these molecules in order to obtain the most stable geometries and to access their relative stability. The theoretical results are in general good agreement with experimental findings.
  • Thermochemical and theoretical study of bipyridines
    Publication . Rio, Carolina; Ribeiro da Silva, M. A. V.; Morais, V. M. F.; Matos, M. A. R.
    The following standard molar enthalpies of formation in the gaseous state at 298.15 K were determined from the enthalpies of combustion of the crystalline solids and the respective enthalpies of sublimation: 2,2’-bipyridine, 267.9 f 3.0 kJ mol-’; 2,4’-bipyridine, 284.2 f 2.7 kJ mol-’; 4,4‘- bipyridine, 293.1 f 3.6 kJ mol-’. Ab initio geometry optimizations of these molecules at the 3-21G level suggest that those with at least one ortho nitrogen atom assume near planar conformations preferentially, while the others have nonplanar most stable forms.
  • Thermochemical and theoretical study of some methyldiazines
    Publication . Rio, Carolina; Ribeiro da Silva, M. A. V.; Morais, V. M. F.; Matos, M. A. R.
    The standard (p 0 = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation for the liquid 2,3-dimethylpyrazine and trimethylpyrazine and the crystalline 2,3-dimethylquinoxaline and tetramethylpyrazine were derived from the standard molar enthalpies of combustion, in oxygen, atT=298.15 K, measured by static-bomb combustion calorimetry. The standard molar enthalpies of vaporization or of sublimation for the same compounds were determined by Calvet microcalorimetry. Ab initio full geometry optimization at the 3-21G and 6-31G* levels were also performed for all the methylpyrazine isomers. MP2/RHF/3-21G//3-21G and DFT energies were also calculated for all the methylpyrazine isomers, thus allowing us to estimate their isodesmic resonance energies.
