Enthalpies of dilution of phenol in cyclohexane and in benzene have been measured, with results reported as rela,tive apparent molar enthalpy ( 4 ~values. ) I t has been shown how these results can be interpreted in terms of a monomer-dimer-trimer model and a monomer-dimer-n-mer model. Equations have been derived that permit calculation of @L values from K and AH” values reported by Whetsel and Lady on the basis of their spectroscopic results and the monomer-dimer-n-mer model. These calculated &, values for phenol in cyclohexane and CCL are in marked disagreement with calorimetric values, which indicates the presence of some errors in the interpretation of the spectroscopic results. Our calculations also show thaL it is possible to fit both the calorimetricand spectroscopic results at 25” with K and A H o values based on the rnonornerdimer+-mer model. Strengths and weaknesses of the various models are discussed in relation to all of these calculations. It is pointed out that phenol is clearly considerably more self-associated in Cyclohexane and CCL than in ben~ene,which is consistent with available thermochemical data and the idea of O R . . n bonding.

Introduction Numerous investigations have provided convincing evidence for self-association of phenol in various more or leys inert solvents, but there is widespread disagreement as to idenLification of predominant associated species and a consequent paucity of reliable data for various association reactions. Although there have been few investigations specifically concerned with solvent effects on self-association of phenol or other hydrogen boiiding solutes, sufficient information is available to suggest that these effects may be quite large. A considerable number of earlier investigations (cited in re€ 2-4) of phenol in CC1, have been interpreted in terms of a monomer--dimer equilibrium. On the other hand, we now have convincing evidence from several that associated species larger than dimers are importanb in all but the most dilute solutions. Results of sonie of these investigation^^^^ indicate that the principal equilibrium reaction is the trimerization represented by 3P = P B j while other Investigatorss suggest that the most realistic representabion is dimeriz?;ntioxzfollowed by stepwise association ‘io P, species with n becoming quite large. Philbrick7 has investigated the distribution of phenol betxeen watw and benzene and has obtained results indica1ing that dimerization is the principal self-association readion of phenol in wet benzene. Vapor pressur e lowering measurements by Lassettre and Dickinsona have permitted calculation of AHo for the dimerization reaction. More recently, Johnson, Christian, and Affsprung9 have carried out infrared spectral measurements and thorough investigations of The Journal of Phgsical Chemiatry, Vol. 75,N o . 21, 1978

the distribution of phenol between water and benzene along with measurements of solubilities of water in phenolic benzene. Their distribution data, which are more extensive than those of Philbrick,7 also indicate that dimerization is the principal self-association reaction of phenol in dilute soIution, -vl-ithsome trimers also present as the total concentration of phenol in benzene increases. Their solubility and spectral data further suggest that the actual species in wet benzene are principally PW, and P2W. This naturally raises the question as to whether trimers might be favored over dimers in anhydrous benzene. We also note that cryoscopic measurements (interpretation complicated by solid solution formation) by Vanderborgh, Armstrong, and Spall’o with phenol and several substituted phenols in benzene have led to the conclusion that both dimers and trimers should be considered.

Of the many other aprotic solvents in which one rnlght im~vestigatethe self-association of phenol, cyclohexane js of particular interest because it can reasonably be regarded as more nearly inert than the weakly dectron-donating benzene and CCL. Deardonll has obtaincd ultraviolet spectra of solutions of phenol ~ncyclohexane a i d has interpreted his results in terms of both dimers and. trimers. The more recent and very thorough infrared investigation by Whetsel and La,dyg has led t o hterpretation in terms of two equilibrium, constants, o m for dimerization and one for stepwise nssociatiorr so form P, species with n becoming quite large. e ]lave undertaken the calorimetric measurements described in this paper t o obtain experimental data relevaaat to identification and thermodynamic description of the principal self-association reactions sf phenol in both benzene and cyclohexane. Although only pztrtly anticipated when these measurements were begun, the results dramatically illustrate how solvent effects can change magnitudes of equilibrium constants and other thermodynamic quantities and also lead t o qualitatively different solute self-association behavior in different solvents.

Calorimetric titration measurements of heats of &Jution of pheTol in anhydrous benzene and cyclohexane were made with the LKB 8700 Precision Titration (Clalorirnetry System with a Metrohm Herisau Dosirxiat automatic buret to deliver the titrant sohtions i o the caiorirneter.

Our heat of dilution results are reported in Tables I and I11 in the form of 4~ values. The relative apparent molar enthalpy represented by 4~ is equal to the negative of the enthalpy of dilution of 1 mol of phenol from a solution of specified molarity to infinite dilution. The imesuits given for cyclohexane solutions were obtained ~.n several series of measurements in which 0.5522 and 10183 M solutions were titrated into pure solvent or into solutions more dilute than the titrant.

Following methods developed in connection with our earlier work4 on solutions of phenol in CC14, we shall first consider interpretation of our 41, results in terms of a single equilibrium that we represent generally by

At any finite concentration there will be both monomeric and associated species present, while at infinite dilution all phenol will be in monomeric form.

Equations 3 and 4 may be tested with 41, results by using a computer to find the value of R, that leads to the most consistent value of AH,". Another method of analyzing #L values in terms of a single self.-association equilibrium is based on the following equation derived previously4 =

Values of K, and AH," can be obtained from the slope and intercept of a graph of - #L against (- (PL/M+~) Tabulated (PI, values are based on measured heats of dilution from one finite concentration to another finite concentration combined with an extrapolated heat of dilution t o zero concentration. Differences in (PL values are therefore properly regarded as purely experimental quantit es, while absolute #I, values are subject t o adjustment following any different extrapolation t o infinite di.ution. It is therefore desirable to o some calculations with A#L values. To do so we combine two equations of the form of (3) to obtain #x,

Equations 6 and 4 and an equation like (4) written in terms of M' dnd a' can be tested by using a computer to obtain t,he values of K , and All,' that best, account for the A#L values. Results of our calculations for phenol in benzene and in cyclohexane are listed in Tables I11 and IV. For solutions of phenol in benzene these calculations could be made consistent with our #L results only for n = 2, while for solutions of phenol in cyclohexane this could be done only wiih n = 3.

and in cyclohexane solutions up to approximately 1 M , we believe that our results and those of some earlier investigators already cited provide good support for the idea that monomers and dimers are the principal species in benzene while monomers and trimers are the principal species in Cyclohexane. ut it is necessary to recognize that it may be possible t o fit experimental data with equations derived from unrealistic reaction models. We should therefore alao consider OUT results in relation t o stepwise association t o form dimers and trimers. This seems especially necessary for solutions of phenol in cyclohexane because it is very unlikely that we can actually have finite ICawith K z = 0. To carry out analysis of our +L results in terms of stepwise self-association reactions (eq I with n = 2 and also n = 3) we write eq 3 in terms of dimers and trimers

and appropriate expressions for K , and K 8 permits computer calculations that lead to the values of Kz, K B ,AH,", and AH,' that best account for the tabulated #L values. Our calculations with eq 7 and 8 applied to solutions of phenol in benzene lead to K z = 0.135, Ks = 0.015, AHz' = -5.41 kcal rnol-l, and AHa" = -4.37 kcal mol-I when 61, values are weighted more for concentrated solutions than for dilute solutions. Similar calculations in which all 4~ values are weighted equally lead t o K2 = 0.130, K 3 = 0.010, AH" = --5.60 kcal mol-', and AN3" = -4.27 kcal mol-l, These equilibrium constants show that dimers are Considerably more important than trimers, as implied by results of our earlier calculations summarized in Table 111. T o illustrate the relative importance of dimers and trimers point out that at 1.8 M the above K values show that we have 71% phenol as monomers, 23% as dimers, and only 6% as trimers in benzene. At this concentration about 90% of #L is due t o dimers, with only about 10% due to trimers, For more dilute solutions, trimers become even less important. Our calculations with eq 7 and 8 applied to solutions of phenol in cyclohexane lead t o ITz = 0.10, K B = 21.5, AH,' = -4.5 kcal m01-l~ and A H e " = -11.0 kcal mol-l. These K values are consistent with our ~ 7 e

The 61, values show quite clearly that phenol is much more self-associated in cyclohexane than in benzene. In so far as our monomer-dimer-trimer model is realistic, the equilibrium constants in Tables V and VI show "cat the greater complexity of phenol in cyclohexane as compared to benzene is due to the markedly greater stability of trimers in cyclohexane. If it is assumed that most of the trimers are cyclic, this order of stabilities is consistent with the idea of OH. . . n bonding between phenol monomers and benzene. This idea receives support from results of other investigiitiorafi, cited later in this paper. Now we turn t o detailed consideration of the monomer-dimer-n-mer stepwise association model used most recently and most thoroughly by Whetsel and Ladyb in connec tion with their spectroscopic investigations of phenol in CCB, and cyclohexane.

i Equations 19 ~ i n d25 now permit us to make several detailed numerical comparisons of our results with those of 'Whetsel and Lady.3 One such comparison begins with use of eq 19 for calculation of various monomer eo ncentrations represented by (P) and corresponding s toichiometric molarities represented by M . Then insertion of these (P) and M values in eq 25 along with K z , AHz", and AH," (our symbols) from Whetsel and Lady3 permits calculation of dlL values to compare with our calorimetric results. We have carried out these calculations for phenol in both CCI, and in cyclohexane and display the results in Figures 1 and 2, alcng with results of present and past4 calorimetric measurements. Figures 1 and 2 clearly show that there are large? concentrat ion-dependent differences between our calorimetric 4~ values and those calculated from the equilibrium constants and AH" values derived by Whetsel and Ladya on the basis of their experimental results and the monouner--dimer-n-mer stepwise association model It is possible thtit the monomer-dimer-n-mer step\vise model is an adequate representation of association in these sysl,erns and that the equilibrium constants yeported by 'Whetsel and Lady3 are close t o the "true" values, I n This case we might attribute the discrepemies between caloulated and calorimetric C$L values t o wrors in the AhTovalues reported by Whetsel and which i s a r.easonable possibility because relatively srnall temperature dependent errors in equilibrium corastmtu can lead to large errors in derived AH" values.

Then we use our calorimetric 4~ values with equilibrium constants from Whetsel and Lady3 in combination with eq 19 to cvaluate the left side of eg 26 and the term K,(P)/[l - K,(P)] on the right side of eq 26. Graphs of ~ L M I I- K , ( P ) ] / K @ ) 2 against K,(P)/ [l - K,(P)] do lead to straight linea for phenol in CCll and in cyclohexane.
