ABSTRACT
Enthalpies of vaporization of 2- and 3-methoxythiophenes (48.32 +- 0.30 and 48.54 +- 0.22 kJ/mol, respectively) have been measured by the transpiration method using nitrogen as the carrying and protecting stream. Combustion experiments leading to enthalpies of formation in the liquid phase, deltafH0m(l), for both isomers failed due to rapid darkening of freshly distilled samples even under a protecting atmosphere. However, combination of experimental vaporization enthalpies with values of the gaseous enthalpies of formation, deltafH0m(g), obtained by quantum-chemical calculations from our previous work Notario et al. (2012) [24] permits establishing estimated deltafH0m(l) values of (68.3 +- 4.2) and (80.1 +- 4.2) kJ/mol, for 2- and 3-methoxythiophene, respectively.
