“…Carbamic acid, NH 2 CO 2 H, although not yet isolated, has been detected by neutralization−reionization mass spectrometry (NRMS) 64 and by IR at low temperature, and some of its properties have been calculated theoretically. , In a thermochemical study,53b the standard enthalpy of formation of gaseous carbamic acid was calculated to be −381 kJ mol -1 (Δ
= −317 kJ mol -1 ), and that of solid NH 4 [O 2 CNH 2 ] has been determined (
= −646 kJ mol -1 ; Δ
= −459 kJ mol -1 ). According to these figures, it can be calculated that gaseous carbamic acid should be unstable with respect to both NH 4 [O 2 CNH 2 ] (s) + CO 2(g) (
= −277 kJ mol -1 ;
= −219 kJ mol -1 ), and to NH 3(g) + CO 2(g) (
= −58 kJ mol -1 ;
= −93 kJ mol -1 ).…”
