a b s t r a c tThe standard (p = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation of crystalline bis(dibenzoylmethanate)zinc(II), Zn(DBM) 2 , diaquobis(thenoyltrifluoroacetonate)zinc(II), Zn(TTFA) 2 (H 2 O) 2 , bis(monothiodibenzoylmethanate)zinc(II), Zn(HDBMS) 2 , and bis(monothio-thenoyltrifluoroacetonate)zinc(II), Zn(HTTFAS) 2 , were determined, at T = 298.15 K, by high precision solution-reaction calorimetry. The standard molar enthalpy of dehydration of the diaquobis(thenoyltrifluoroacetonate)zinc(II), Zn(TTFA) 2 (H 2 O) 2 , complex was measured by high-temperature Calvet microcalorimetry. From the standard molar enthalpies of formation of the complexes in the gaseous state, the mean molar dissociation enthalpies zinc(II)-ligand, hD m i(Zn-L), were derived.kJÁmol À1 Bis(dibenzoylmethanate)zinc(II), Zn(DBM) 2 À546.9 ± 4.0 Diaquobis(thenoyltrifluoroacetonate)zinc(II), Zn(TTFA) 2 (H 2 O) 2 À2556.2 ± 8.4 Bis(monothiodibenzoylmethanate)zinc(II), Zn(DBMS) 2À107.0 ± 5.9 Bis(monothiothenoyltrifluoroacetonate)zinc(II), Zn(TTFAS) 2 À1563.6 ± 8.0
