The heat capacity and parameters of the solid-to-solid phase transition of adamantane were measured in the temperature range from 80 to 370 K by use of adiabatic calorimetry. The thermodynamic functions for the compound in the crystalline and liquid states were calculated. The standard molar enthalpy of formation in the crystalline state for adamantane was obtained from combustion calorimetry by use of two different calorimeters. Available data on the enthalpy of combustion, saturated vapor pressure, and enthalpy of sublimation of adamantane were collected, analyzed, and selected. On the basis of spectroscopic data and results of quantum-chemical calculations, the ideal-gas properties for adamantane were calculated by a statistical thermodynamics method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
