The molar heat capacities of the linear alcohols 1-octadecanol (C18H38O), 1-nonadecanol (C19H40O), 1-eicosanol (C20H42O), and 1-docosonol (C22H46O) were measured from 10 K to 370 K. The derived absolute entropies were fitted as a function of the carbon number (n) in the linear chain. At 360 K the function is S°(360 K,n) ) {117.52 + 38.328n} J‚K-1‚mol-1. A simple function was found for the heat capacity of the liquids. From the melting point to 370 K the liquid heat capacities can be represented within the measuring error with Cp,l(n,T) ) {-450.41 + 36.4968n + 1.47317T} J‚K-1‚mol-1. The solid-solid phase transition in 1-octadecanol was investigated in more detail, and the relative Gibbs energy curves of both solid phases and the liquid phase are presented.

Introduction The normal 1-substituted alcohols have received far less interest than the n-alkanes. The measurements of thermal properties for the long chain n-alcohols published are limited to DSC measurements1-4 and an adiabatic study of C13 to C16 1-alcohols around room temperature.5 Furthermore, the melting and transition events were studied by X-ray methods,6-8 dielectric measurements,9 and direct visual observation in capillary tubes.10,11 An extensive study of the infrared spectra has been published.12 We are not aware of high-precision low-temperature studies, which may be used to derive entropy values and other thermodynamic properties. Compounds containing long aliphatic chains are interesting from different viewpoints. They form important building blocks in paraffins, hydrocarbons, polyethylene, and glycerides. The physical property behavior of these compounds is due to the presence of long aliphatic chains. A review of the physical properties of these molecules can be found in the Handbook of Lipid Research.13 Another more recent aspect of these substances is their potential application in heat storage materials. The alcohols have the advantage of negligible or no subcooling and are not very chemically aggressive. Mixing of different members of the family allows one to manipulate the optimum working temperature for heat storage. Our group works in this field in cooperation with the universities of Bordeaux and Barcelona, organized in the Re´seau Europe´en sur les Alliages Mole´culaire (REALM). Experimental Section Three compounds were purchased from Fluka Chemica with an estimated purity of better than 98%. The fourth, 1-docosanol was bought from Aldrich with a stated purity * Corresponding author. Fax: +31 302533946. E-mail: miltenb@ chem.uu.nl.

The calorimeter used (laboratory-design indication CAL VII) was home-built as a copy of CAL V.14,15 Below 30 K, the reproducibility of the calorimeter is about 1%, between 30 K and 100 K, 0.05-0.1%, and above 100 K, 0.03%.

was checked with n-heptane and with synthetic sapphire. No deviations larger than 0.2% from the recommended values were found. The compounds were evacuated for about 0.5 h before closing the measuring vessel. A helium pressure of about 1 kPa was admitted before closing in order to promote the heat exchange within the vessel. Measurements were made in the intermittent mode, using stabilization periods of about 600 s and heat input periods of about 500 s. The temperature increase was generally about 2 to 3 K for each measurement. Each compound was first measured from room temperature up to about 360 K. Then a slow, controlled cooling curve was measured by setting the inner adiabatic shield and the wire heater about 10 K below the temperature of the vessel. This resulted in a cooling rate outside the crystallization area of about 4 K‚h-1. Between 5 K and 30 K, stabilization and input periods of about 100 to 150 s were used. Measurements on 1-octadecanol were made with 6.365 g, on 1-nonadecanol with 3.277 g, for 1-eicosanol with 4.2397 g, and for 1-docosanol with 4.6422 g. After completion of the measurements, all data were combined in one file. The data consist of the mean tem-

After calculating starting values for the entropy and enthalpy at 10 K, the data set was interpolated for every degree. The derived properties S°(T) and Φo(T) ) -(H°(T) - TS°(T)) were calculated by numerical integration. The latter function Φo(T) is given, as it is useful for calculating relative stabilities and as it is easier to interpolate. The starting values of S° and H°(T) - H°(0) were calculated assuming that below 10 K the low-temperature limit of the Debye heat capacity function Cp ) RT3 holds.

For obtaining starting values for the numerical integration of Cp/T, leading to S°, we used the fitted values of Cp at 10 K to calculate R, assuming that below 10 K the Debye limit holds.

phase transitions were observed. In the melt the molar heat capacity reaches very high values, and near the end of the melting process when the remaining solid starts to float in the liquid formed, which enhances the distribution of impurities, even negative values for the heat capacity are found. However, this has no influence on the calculation of the enthalpy of fusion. For this calculation, the enthalpy function is used and this function increases with every heat input. In Figure 1 the molar heat capacity in the vicinity of the melting point is given. The first melting experiment showed a very small shoulder; this effect is more pronounced in the once-melted material. The occurrence of a phase transition in the long chain alcohols has been reported, as discussed in the Introduction. The observed effect is attributed to a solid-solid transition, in which the crystalline form is changed into a crystal with rotational disorder. We follow the often-used notation, the β- and γ-forms, which are stable at low temperatures, transform into the R-form at the transition points close to the melting points. On cooling, the compound crystallizes in the R-form. The R f γ transition (in the case of n-octadecanol) does

show a significant subcooling. The cooling curve (see the Experimental Section) is given in Figure 2. For all four alcohols the subcooling of the liquid f R phase is very small. The temperatures of the freezing process were taken at the point A (see Figure 2) and are given in Table 13. Subcooling ranged from 0.2 K to 0.5 K. The liquid f R and R f γ transitions are clearly separated. The R f γ transition is a solid-solid phase transition which involves nucleation and which is consequently subcooled. The amount of subcooling depends on the cooling rate. Closer inspection of the thermal plateau (indicated by B in Figure 2) and repeating the cooling curve at different cooling rates showed that what looked to be a first-order phase transition is a balance between the heat liberated by the transition process and the heat removed by the cooling. In Table 3 a summary of the melting experiments is given. The enthalpy of fusion was calculated by taking the enthalpy increment between 300 K and 340 K. The Cp functions of the liquid and the solid used for the calculation of the baseline are also given in Table 3. The calculation was performed in an iterative way, the contribution of the liquid formed being

calculated after each measurement and used in the new calculation until a stable value was obtained. A maximum of three iterations were needed. The sum of the enthalpy of fusion and of transition was found to be (66 672 ( 200) J‚mol-1. This is the mean value of four melting experiments; the uncertainty given is two times the standard deviation. It seems that in the compound as received, being stored for a long time at room temperature, lattice defects have healed, resulting in a larger enthalpy of fusion. The difference is within the uncertainty, and it cannot be confirmed by an outlier test that the first melting experiment is different from the following experiments. However, the same effect was observed with all four alcohols. Recent measurements on n-heptadecanol showed the same effect, but with this compound the difference in enthalpy of the solid state between the sample as received and after melting amounted to 1000 J‚mol-1, which is a significant difference. The temperature of fusion was (331.2 ( 0.1) K, the stated uncertainty is larger than can be expected in adiabatic calorimetry. This is caused by the occurrence of the phase transition in the melting region, which also prohibits the usual purity calculation. An attempt was made to separate the transition and the melting effect. The sample was melted and cooled to 328 K (see Figure 2). At

this temperature only the liquid f R transition has taken place. From 328 K, set measurements were made up to temperatures in the liquid phase. The molar heat capacities in the (metastable) R-phase were very high. Between 328 K and 330 K the values increased from 1000 to 2000 J‚K-1.mol-1. This makes it very difficult to calculate the enthalpy of the R f liquid transition. The difference in enthalpy between the R and the γ phase at 328 K, calculated after matching the enthalpy in the liquid phase, was 25 600 J‚K-1‚mol-1. Accepting this value as the γ f R enthalpy of transition, thus ignoring the heat capacity contribution, the enthalpy of fusion of the R phase is 41 072

J‚K-1‚mol-1. The relative Gibbs energy curves were calculated for the measurement from the γ f R f liquid and the R f liquid measurements. The enthalpy and the entropy of the three data sets were matched at 350 K. The result is plotted in Figure 3a. The transition from the γ f R phase is very close to the melting point of the R phase. In Figure 3b an enlarged view of the transition region is given. Using the extrapolated Gibbs energy curves (the lines in Figure 3a), we found TγfR ) 330.60 K and TRfliquid ) 330.93 K. This latter value corresponds to the melting point (see Table 1); this indicates that the extrapolation of the Gibbs energy curves can be used. As this extrapolation is based on measurements relatively far from the melting point, the influence of impurities in the sample is expected to be small. The triple point (331.2 K) was estimated from the plot of the reciprocal of the melted fraction against the equilibrium temperatures. 1-Nonadecanol. The experimental data are given in Table 4, the derived thermodynamic properties are given in Table 5, and the enthalpy of transition and of melting is given in Table 6. The separation of the crystal-rotator transition and the rotator-liquid transition is about 4 K. The molar heat capacity between these transitions is very high and resembles the behavior in n-nonadecane.16 Since it is not clear which baseline to use when trying to separate these transitions, the sum of them is given. The transition temperature shifted slightly to lower temperatures when the sample had been melted before. We stabilized the sample at 332 K, between the transition and the melting point for 24 h and recooled. The different enthalpy curves

are given in Figure 4. The stabilization at 332 K resulted in a shift of the transition temperature roughly between the two other curves. This also confirms the idea that storage of the material at room temperature can lead to a slightly different enthalpy of the solid phase. The cooling curve from the liquid phase will be discussed later on. 1-Eicosanol. The experimental data are given in Table 7, the derived thermodynamic properties are given in Table 8, and the melting experiments are given in Table 9. Like the molar heat capacity curve of 1-octadecanol, a small shoulder was observed in the melting curve at about 1 K below the end melting point. The position of the maximum of this effect shifted about 0.2 K to lower temperatures in a sample which had recently been melted. The melting experiments given in Table 9 include this effect. The controlled cooling curve gave two well-separated transitions. This will be discussed in a later section. 1-Docosanol. The experimental data are given in Table 10, the derived thermodynamic properties are given in Table 11, and the melting data are given in Table 12. No solid-solid phase transitions were observed. In the melt only one measuring point could indicate a small transition. Plotting the equilibrium temperatures in the melt versus the reciprocal of the melted fraction does result in a straight line. This indicates that the impurities form a eutectic system with the main component. From these curves the purity and the triple-point temperature given in Table 12 were calculated. Cooling Behavior. All four compounds do show two events on cooling. A cooling curve of 1-octadecanol is given

a The following linear fits were used for the iterative calculation of the baseline: Cp[solid] ) {-150.62 + 2.418T} and Cp[liquid] ) {352.18 + 1.475T} J‚K-1‚mol-1.

in Figure 2. The temperatures indicated by A and B in the figure are the maximum values measured on each plateau. In Table 13 these values are given. The maximum difference in the solid-liquid and liquid-solid transitions is 0.5 K. One should however be cautious to consider this as subcooling, as different solid phases are involved. 1-Docosanol might melt from the γ phase, and it does crystallize in the R phase. This can account for the difference in the melting and crystallization temperatures. In the case of the nalkanes the subcooling is smaller for compounds with comparable chain lengths; for n-nonadecane we measured only 0.1 K or less.16 The subcooling of the rotator-crystal phase transition is much larger. It ranges between 5 and

Cooling.

7 K, and whereas the crystallization temperatures measured by Sirota1 are in accord with our measurements, the transition temperatures differ up to 3 K. Since the cooling rates were comparable in both works, the cause of the difference could be the material of the measuring vessels. This would indicate that the transition is triggered by nonhomogeneous nucleation. Entropy at 360 K and 298.15 K. We fitted the entropy S°(360 K) for the four components in the liquid phase to a function of the form S° ) a0 + a1n, where n is the number of carbon atoms in the chain. The value of S°(360 K) ) 806.83 J‚K-1‚mol-1 of 1-octadecanol was calculated by extrapolation from 350 K using the fit for the liquid phase (see later discussion). The fit obtained is S°(360 K,n) ) {117.52 + 38.328n} J‚K-1‚mol-1, with a correlation coefficient of 0.999 93. The maximum deviation from the fit is found for 1-nonadecanol and is 0.11%, which is within the expected accuracy. The increment in entropy with n can be compared with the value given for the n-alkanes. The fit at 298.15 K of these compounds gives a value of 32.32 J‚K-1‚mol-1.17 When we extrapolate the entropy of the alcohols to a hypothetical liquid state at 298.15 K, by using the fit of the heat capacity of the liquid phases as described later on, we find S°(298.15,n) ) {111.31 + 31.448n} J‚K-1‚mol-1. The maximum deviation in this fit is 0.18% for 1-docosanol. The dependence of S° on n is close to the value found for the n-alkanes. Heat Capacity of the Liquid Phase. We have combined all collected heat capacity data of the liquid phase of the four compounds in a file consisting of temperaturenumber of carbon atoms-heat capacity triplets. With these data a fit was made, starting with the model Cp ) a0 + a1n + a2nT + a3T. The program Exel with the Solver option was used for the fitting procedure. This model allows for a change in temperature dependence of the heat capacity of the liquids with the carbon number. However, it proved to be possible to fit the data set to within the experimental error and with the same error as in the aforementioned fit, with the more simple function Cp ) a0 + a1n + a2T. A total number of 157 data points were used, giving the

Journal of Chemical and Engineering Data, Vol. 46, No. 1, 2001 97 function Cp ) {-450.41 + 36.4968n + 1.47317T} J‚K-1‚mol-1. The standard deviation of this fit is 0.7 J‚K-1‚mol-1, which corresponds to a relative deviation of about 0.1%. This fit shows that the heat capacity of the liquids of the four alcohols has the same temperature dependence. No explanation has been made at the time of this writing.
