The sublimation enthalpies of 17 hydrocarbons are obtained by combining the technique of correlation gas chromatography (CGC), to evaluate vaporization enthalpies at 298.15 K, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to measure fusion enthalpies. Vaporization enthalpies at 298.15 K obtained by CGC are compared to values measured directly from vapor pressure measurements at temperatures above the melting point by adjusting the experimental vaporization enthalpy for the effects of temperature. Vaporization enthalpies obtained by these two methods agree within AE3877 J mol À1 . Fusion enthalpies are similarly adjusted for temperature. Sublimation enthalpies, obtained by combining temperature adjusted fusion, and vaporization enthalpies agree within AE2580 J mol À1. The sublimation enthalpies of azulene and 1,8-cyclotetradecadiyne are also measured by head-space analysis resulting in values of 76880 and 94348 J mol À1 at 298.15 K, respectively. # 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
