ABSTRACT: The fusion, vaporization, and sublimation enthalpies of a series of perfluorinated alkanes have been measured by combining measurements obtained by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), transpiration, and correlation-gas chromatography and comparing the results to available data in the literature. Additionally, experiments are reported to provide a guide in identifying appropriate structural features of fluorinated compounds suitable for use as standards in correlation gas chromatography measurements. Fusion enthalpies and fusion temperatures by DSC for the following compounds were measured (in kJ·mol−1; K): decafluorobiphenyl (20.5 ± 0.6, 339.6), perfluorododecane (24.2 ± 0.6, 346.6), perfluorotridecane (27.9 ± 0.4, 361.7), perfluorotetradecane (31.5 ± 0.3, 375.6), perfluoropentadecane (35.1 ± 0.2, 388.1), perfluorohexadecane (38.7 ± 0.1, 399.7), perfluoroeicosane (50.3 ± 0.3, 436.2), and perfluorotetracosane (63.2 ± 0.6, 461.1). Sublimation enthalpies for the following compounds were measured by transpiration (in kJ·mol−1; T = 298.15 K): perfluorododecane (85.8 ± 0.6), perfluorotridecane (94.3 ± 0.5), perfluorotetradecane (102.4 ± 1.0), and perfluoropentadecane (109.4 ± 0.4). Vaporization and sublimation enthalpies, respectively, were also evaluated for the following compounds (kJ·mol−1; T/K = 298.15): perfluorohexadecane (88.6 ± 4.0, 117.6 ± 4.9), perfluoroeicosane (113.7 ± 7.4, 148 ± 8.8), and perfluorotetracosane (141.4 ± 2.2, 168.3 ± 11.1). The measured vaporization enthalpies of the perfluorinated alkanes behave linearly as a function of the number of CF2 groups similar to what is observed with n-alkanes. Correlation-gas chromatography experiments confirmed previous findings that hydrocarbons can be used as standards for compounds containing a few fluorine atoms but otherwise standards need to be chosen with similar fluorine substitution and functionality.

INTRODUCTION

standards is of fundamental importance for the determination of reliable property data. Since in the case of the perfluorinated alkanes very little data are available in the literature, the vapor pressures and sublimation enthalpies of some of the larger perfluorinated alkanes were also evaluated by transpiration studies. Additionally, their fusion enthalpies were also determined. This report summarizes the results of these studies. In the case of hydrocarbons, structure does not play a significant role as far as the selection of standards in c-gc experiments is concerned. Any hydrocarbon, aliphatic or aromatic, branched, or cyclic or acyclic can be used as a standard for another hydrocarbon of unknown vaporization enthalpy. When other functional groups are also present, in

Interest in fluorinated compounds ranges from their use as lubricants to artificial blood.1−3 The size similarity of fluorine to hydrogen coupled with the stronger carbon fluorine bond strength makes partially fluorinated compounds excellent candidates as enzyme inhibitors. Despite the presence of fluorine in many commercially available compounds, there are remarkably little thermochemical data available in the literature. In some cases, the data are either old or what is available is in poor agreement.4,5 The aim of this work was to determine whether correlation-gas chromatography (c-gc) experiments could be used successfully to evaluate the vaporization enthalpies of partially and completely fluorinated hydrocarbons and to provide additional thermochemical information about their properties. The evaluation of vapor pressure and vaporization enthalpy using this technique relies on the use of appropriate standards. The identification of appropriate © 2012 American Chemical Society

perfluorooctane as the solvent was due to the limited solubility of the perfluorinated alkanes in typical organic solvents. Whether the solvent was also used as a standard depended on its retention time. Methylene chloride was used as the solvent for the perfluorinated aromatic compounds, runs 21−2. Adjusted retention times, ta, were calculated by subtracting the measured retention time of the nonretained reference from the retention time of each analyte as a function of temperature, at T = 5 K intervals over a 30 K range. Further details are provided in the Supporting Information. Column temperatures above ambient were controlled by the gas chromatograph. All temperatures were monitored using a Vernier temperature probe. Temperatures maintained by the gas chromatograph above ambient temperatures were constant to ± 0.1 K. Subambient temperatures were achieved by immersion of the column into a VWR Scientific Products Chiller’s tank (model 1166) filled with a 50:50 ethylene glycol−water mixture. This setup enabled temperatures to be controlled within ± 0.3 K. Enthalpies of transfer were calculated as the product of the slope of the line obtained by plotting ln(to/ta) versus 1/T and the gas constant, R. All plots of ln(to/ta) versus 1/T, where to = 1 min, were characterized by correlation coefficients, r2, > 0.99. The retention times measured for all analytes are reported in the Supporting Information. The uncertainties associated with the correlations (± σ) were calculated from the uncertainty in the slope and intercept of the equations listed at the bottom of each respective table. Transpiration Studies. The method of transpiration using a nitrogen stream was used to measure vapor pressures of the perfluoroalkanes, and vaporization enthalpies were calculated from their temperature dependence as previously described.7 Glass beads (10 g) with a diameter of 1 mm were used to

many instances, both the nature and the number of the functional groups must be considered in the selection of appropriate standards. A goal of this work was to evaluate whether fluorine substitution needed to be treated as a functional group, taking into account both the number of fluorine atoms present and their location or whether fluorine substitution could be treated much like hydrogen. A previous study demonstrated that a single fluorine atom could be substituted for hydrogen successfully and its location on the molecule did not appear to be significant.6 As is described briefly below, perfluorinated compounds behave in a more complex manner than the corresponding hydrocarbons of similar structure.

EXPERIMENTAL SECTION Correlation-Gas Chromatography Experiments. All compounds used in this study were obtained from commercial sources and used as purchased. Their origin and composition are listed in Table 1. All were analyzed as mixtures separated by chromatography. Correlation gas chromatography experiments were performed on an HP 5890 gas chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector and run at a split ratio of approximately 100:1. Retention times were recorded on an HP Chemstation. The compounds were run isothermally on a 0.25 mm, 30 m Restek RTX-200 crossbonded trifluoropropyl methyl column using helium as the carrier gas, except for runs 21 and 22 for which a 30 m DB-5 column was used. Below T = 373 K, the retention time of the methane was used as the nonretained reference; above this temperature perfluorooctane, also used as the solvent in most runs, was used as the nonretained reference. The retention times of methane or perfluorooctane were used to determine the dead volume of the column. The use of 2351

The vapor pressure was calculated from the amount of mass transported over a measured period of time and flow rate using the ideal gas law. The total mass collected was adjusted for the residual mass loss occurring at the temperature of the cold trap due to the flow by an iterative process using the vapor pressure extrapolated from the observed temperature dependence.

rate of 5 °C·min−1 from T/K = (298 to Tfus). Indium metal, 99.999 %, was used as the standard. Triplicate determinations of the fusion enthalpy are reported in Table 3. The fusion enthalpies evaluated in Rostock were measured on a Mettler Toledo 822 DSC instrument equipped with STARe software. It was calibrated with indium (99.999 %) at different scanning rates. Samples were sealed hermetically in 40 μL aluminum pans and heated at a ramp of 10 K·min−1. These enthalpies and melting temperatures are also listed in Table 3. The fusion enthalpy measurements in this work are also compared to literature values reported by Starkweather in Table 3.9 In view of the significant discrepancy between our results and those reported by Starkweather, this prompted the measurements of several of these compounds to be performed both in St. Louis and in Rostock using different samples and different instruments. The results from both laboratories were completely reproducible. It is significant to point out that the

ratio of Starkweather’s values to the values reported in this work is nearly constant for all the compounds measured by Starkweather: 1.58, 1.58. 1.60, and 1.59, respectively. This discrepancy is discussed further in the section on results. Temperature Adjustments. Unless available otherwise, all vaporization, sublimation, and fusion enthalpies were adjusted to T/K = 298.15 using eqs 4 to 7, respectively. Equations 4 to 6 have been used previously and shown to provide reasonable adjustments for temperature for sublimation, vaporization, and fusion enthalpies.10 The heat capacity terms required for these temperature adjustments, Cp(cr) and Cp(l), are reported in Tables 4 and 5 and were evaluated by group additivity.8,11,12 Equation 7 describes the thermochemical cycle relating sublimation, vaporization, and fusion enthalpies. Results of the correlations are summarized in Table 6. 2354

that it is the π region of the aromatic ring that is mainly responsible for the retention times observed for C6F6 and C7F8. Perfluorinated hexane was not retained sufficiently on the column at ambient temperatures to allow accurate measurement of its retention times over 30 K. These measurements required the use of subambient temperatures. The results of a series of correlations using alkanes n-C6F14 through to C16F34 and up to n-C24F50 are reported in Table 6. All correlations were performed in duplicate. The details of only one of the two correlations are reported in Table 6 although the results of both correlations are summarized by the correlation equations reported below each run, eqs 8 to 17. Additional details regarding each correlation can be found in the Supporting Information. The first four runs in Table 6 were performed to determine whether enthalpies of transfer would correlate with the corresponding vaporization enthalpies available in the literature. Good linear correlations were obtained. Runs 3 and 4 treated perfluorododecane as an unknown to identify the most probable of the two discordant vaporization enthalpies calculated for this material in Table 5. Values of (64.3 ± 2.2) kJ·mol−1 and (64.0 ± 2.2) kJ·mol−1 were obtained from run 3 and run 4, respectively, from good linear correlations. These results compare favorably with the experimental vaporization enthalpy of (65.3 ± 1.3) kJ·mol−1 evaluated from the sublimation enthalpy and the DSC results reported in Table 3, confirming that the fusion enthalpy reported by Starkweather9 for perfluorododecane is in error. The constant ratio in the fusion enthalpy results observed between our work and that reported by Starkweather for the other perfluoralkanes suggests the presence of a systematic error of unknown origin in Starkweather’s work for both perfluorododecane and the other perfluorinated alkanes reported by this author. The experimental value of (65.3 ± 1.3) kJ·mol−1 for perfluorododecane was used as a standard in subsequent runs. The remaining six correlations evaluated the vaporization enthalpies of crystalline perfluorohexadecane, perfluoroeicosane, and perfluorotetracosane. The results of all 10 correlations are summarized in Table 7. The results are also illustrated in Figure 2 in which vaporization enthalpies are plotted as a function of the number of perfluoromethylene groups, nCF2. The equation of the line obtained by linear regression is given by eq 18. The correlation coefficient, r2 = 0.9970, confirms that a good linear relationship exists between vaporization enthalpy and the number of CF2 groups. In comparison, the corresponding relationship between the vaporization enthalpies of the corresponding hydrocarbons and the number of methylene groups using recommended values for pentane to eicosane16 is given by eq 19.

RESULTS The GC chromatographs of the n-perfluoroalkanes are remarkable. Despite boiling temperatures similar to their hydrocarbon counterparts, their retention times are surprisingly short in comparison. The chromatographic separation of the perfluorinated alkanes is considerably more problematic than with the corresponding hydrocarbons. Peak shape and tailing were considerably more sensitive to the temperature, flow rate, and concentration on the column used for the measurements, trifluoropropylmethylsiloxane. The use of dilute mixtures and a column pressure set to ca. 21 kPa was found to achieve the best separation and enabled the sharpest peak definition. Figure 1 illustrates the retention times of various perfluorinated alkanes from C8 to C15 in relation to hexafluorobenzene and octafluorotoluene. The perfluoroalkanes that have retention times comparable to hexafluorobenzene and octafluorotoluene are compounds that have roughly twice as many carbon atoms and three times as many fluorine atoms. These results suggest

The slope of eq 19 suggests that a methylene group makes a slightly smaller contribution to the vaporization enthalpy than a perfluoromethylene group. The contributions of a methyl and perfluoromethyl group appear to be reversed. On the basis of 2355

the relative accessible surface area of these two groups, the contribution to the vaporization enthalpy of both groups might be expected to be larger in the perfluoroalkanes. A number of the perfluoroalkanes investigated are solids at room temperature. In addition to the sublimation enthalpies measured directly, it is also possible to calculate the sublimation enthalpies of perfluorinated hexadecane, eicosane, and tetracosane at T/K = 298.15 by combining their respective fusion and vaporization enthalpies measured in this work according to eq 7. Table 8 summarizes all of these sublimation enthalpies. All of the perfluoroalkanes investigated thus far by correlation−gas chromatography have been the linear ones. To determine whether branched or cyclic alkanes can be

included in these correlations, several cyclic/branched alkanes were also investigated using the linear perfluoroalkanes as standards. The compounds chosen include perfluoro(methylcyclohexane), a cis/trans mixture of perfluoro(1,3dimethylcyclohexane) and cis- and trans-perfluorodecalin. The nature of their retention times required individual analyses. The vaporization enthalpy of cis/trans-perfluoro(1,3-dimethylcyclohexane) has been measured as a mixture since the two stereoisomers were not separated by chromatography column used. This mixture was judged as a suitable test material since the vaporization enthalpy in the literature was also a combined value for the two diasteriomers.19 cis/trans-Perfluorodecalin was purchased as a mixture but was separated by the chromatography.

It was previously shown that, if a single fluorine was substituted for hydrogen in hydrocarbons and carboxylic acids, these compounds successfully correlated with the corresponding unsubstituted hydrocarbons and carboxylic acids.6 To test whether the analogous substitution with the perfluoroalkanes would likewise be successful, 1H-perfluorooctane was analyzed using C8F18, C9F20 C10F22, and C13F28 as standards. 1HPerfluorooctane was highly retained by the column relative to the other perfluorinated compounds similar to that observed with the aromatic compounds in Figure 1 eluting between C10F22 and C13F28. As indicated in Runs 17 and 18 of Table 9, the vaporization enthalpy calculated for this material was significantly greater than the literature value, clearly indicating that the use of these perfluoralkanes as standards would lead to an erroneous value. It is remarkable that the replacement of a single fluorine atom with a hydrogen atom can have such a large effect on retention time and its temperature dependence. Another set of correlations, Runs 19 and 20, were performed to address whether perfluorinated alkanes can be used as standards for perfluorinated aromatic compounds. As noted previously, the retention times of the perfluoroaromatics were likewise longer than the perfluoroalkanes with a similar number of carbon atoms. Not surprisingly and similar to 1Hperfluorooctane, vaporization enthalpies obtained for perfluorobenzene and perfluorotoluene are also calculated to be greater than the literature values, again emphasizing the need to use more appropriate standards. The last set of correlations reported test the behavior of perfluorinated aromatic compounds with the corresponding aromatic hydrocarbons. The results of one of the correlations are provided in Table 10, and both sets of correlations are summarized in Table 11, resulting in eqs 30 and 31. The elution order that was observed is indicated in Table 10 starting from top to bottom. Despite the fact that decafluorobiphenyl has a larger vaporization enthalpy than octafluoronaphthalene, the former elutes off the column first. Naphthalene is the last compound to elute off the column. The vaporization enthalpies of two of the partially fluorinated aromatics, α,α,α-trifluorotoluene and p-fluoroanisole, are well reproduced by using aromatic hydrocarbons as observed previously.6 The results for

duplicate runs obtained by treating these materials as unknowns, resulting in eqs 20 to 29. The experimental details of these experiments are available in the Supporting Information. The results suggest that the linear perfluoroalkanes can probably be used as standards although branched or cyclic perfluoralkanes would probably give the best results. 2357

α,α,α-trifluorotoluene is encouraging since it suggests that several fluorine substitutions can be tolerated using hydrocarbons as standards. The result for p-fluoroanisole is reassuring since it suggests that the combination of two functional groups, an ether oxygen and a fluorine substituent, both previously demonstrated to correlate individually with hydrocarbons, continue to due so when used in combination.6,23,24 The agreement observed between these results and the literature values suggests that it may be possible to obtain good correlations with other partially fluorinated aromatic ethers and hydrocarbons. Results for the fully fluorinated aromatic compounds investigated clearly indicate that these compounds do not correlate either with hydrocarbons or with themselves. Whether the enthalpies of transfer of completely planar

perfluorinated aromatics will correlate with their experimental vaporization enthalpies remains to be determined. It is clear that extreme caution is necessary when performing correlations to evaluate vaporization enthalpies with perfluorinated compounds.

SUMMARY The results of this work suggests that correlation-gas chromatography experiments can be successful in measuring the vaporization enthalpies of perfluorinated alkanes provided similar compounds are used as standards. The perfluorinated alkanes appear to behave linearly with the number of CF2 groups similar to what is observed for n-alkanes of similar size.25 Correlations of enthalpies of transfer with vaporization 2358

enthalpies also appear to be successful using hydrocarbons as standards when only a few fluorine substituents are present on a molecule.6 On the other hand, polyfluorinated compounds do not appear to correlate well with perfluorinated compounds. The importance of experimentally verifying the appropriateness of the standards to be used in these correlations is clearly evident.
