“…We have contributed to this series in the past by determining vapour pressures and enthalpies of vaporization investigations on branched esters [1,2], amines [3], nitro-compounds [4], nitriles [5,6], alcohols [7,8], aldehydes [9], ketones [10], imines [11], fluoroalkanes [12], carboxylic acids [13], and alkyl ethers, acetals, ketals, orthoesters [14][15][16][17]. This work was initiated to investigate the relationship between vaporization enthalpy and Kovat's indices and it extends our previous [18,19] studies on the alkyl-benzenes with the systematic study of the linear alkyl-benzenes with the alkyl chain length of C 5 , C 7 , C 10 , and C 11 . The enthalpies of vaporization, D g l H m ð298:15 KÞ, have been obtained from the temperature dependence of the vapour pressures measured by the transpiration method.…”
