Abstract
Abstract The enthalpies of solution of 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-2-thiourea (TMTU) in ordinary (H2O) and heavy (D2O) water were measured at (278.15, 283.15, 288.15, 298.15, and 313.15) K and atmospheric pressure. Standard molar enthalpies and heat capacities of solution and hydration, together with D2O–H2O solvent isotope effects (IEs) on these quantities, were calculated. It was established that, unlike the process of forming aqueous 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-2-urea (TMU), the dissolution of TMTU in both H2O and D2O is an endothermic effect over the whole temperature range studied, and the standard enthalpy-isotopic effect undergoes a negative-to-positive sign inversion nearby of T = 304 K. Going from TMTU to TMU, the standard heat capacity of solution (hydration) and corresponding IE become less positive.
