Vapor pressure and heat capacities of perfluoro-N-(4-methylcyclohexyl)piperidine

Abstract

Heat capacities of perfluoro-N-(4-methylcyclohexyl)piperidine (PMCP) have been measured by low-temperature adiabatic calorimetry. The purity of the compound, its triple-point temperature, and its enthalpy and entropy of fusion have been determined. The saturated vapor pressure was determined by comparative ebulliometry as a function of temperature in the 6.2–101.6 kPa pressure range and 374.2–460.9 K temperature range. The calorimetric enthalpy of vaporization at T = 298.15 K has been measured. The following thermodynamic properties were calculated for PMCP: normal boiling temperature, enthalpy of vaporization ΔvapHm0(T) as a function of temperature, and critical parameters. The enthalpies of vaporization at 298.15 K obtained experimentally and by calculation methods match within their error limits, which validates their adequacy and the adequacy of the ΔvapHm0 = f(T) equation as an extrapolation.
