“…Experimental determinations were made within the 131–211 °C temperature range for caffeine and 181–241 °C temperature range for theophylline. Sublimation enthalpy determined by this experimental technique was 110 kJ/mol for caffeine and 130 kJ/mol for theophylline [ 23 ].…”
Caffeine and theophylline are compounds with important applications in the pharmaceutical industry and other fields of the chemical industry. These purine derivatives have simple chemical structures, therefore, the evaluation of their sublimation process contributes to the development of mass transfer analysis methods that can later be applied to other compounds with more complex structures. With the help of thermogravimetric analysis in isothermal conditions, the kinetic study of the sublimation of caffeine and theophylline, along with the evaluation of kinetic parameters (activation energy and the pre-exponential factor), was carried out. Global mass transfer coefficients were determined, which vary for caffeine between 53 × 10−8 and 631 × 10−8 mol/s·m2·Pa, and for theophylline between 68 × 10−8 and 441 × 10−8 mol/s·m2·Pa. The dimensionless equations of the form: Sh=a+b·Rec·Scd have been proposed, which allow the determination of individual mass transfer coefficients at temperatures between 130 and 160 °C for caffeine and between 170 and 200 °C for theophylline.

“…The mass-transfer coefficient can be calculated using the following equationβnormalc=aa2+h2DnormalA,normalB×F(θ)×F(ΔT)where a is the base radius of the spherical cap-shaped droplet, h is its height in the center, D A,B is the diffusion coefficient, calculated by Fuller et al’s empirical scheme, F (Δ T ) is an empirical function related to the influence of the temperature gradient in the gas phase on the mass-loss process, and F (θ) is an empirical function representing the influence of the contact angle θ. The procedure of the measurements has been fully described elsewhere . The vapor pressures measured in this work are listed in Table .…”

We have obtained the thermochemical properties of the
phase transition
of six mono- and di-cyanate esters for the first time. Vapor pressure–temperature
dependences and enthalpies of vaporization for two mono-cyanate esters
were measured by fast scanning calorimetry and transpiration method.
Fusion enthalpies of cyanate esters were studied by differential scanning
calorimetry. We have developed an additive scheme for the evaluation
of solvation enthalpies of cyanate esters based on the reliable data
of solution and sublimation enthalpies of one mono-cyanate ester.
The proposed scheme and experimental solution enthalpies in different
solvents were further used for the determination of the vaporization
and sublimation enthalpies of other cyanate esters at 298.15 K.
“…As can be expected, such data were used for modeling the fate of PAHs in the environment (e.g., Sun et al, Gbeddy et al). They were also used for the development of a vapor pressure group contribution method by Naef and Acree and comparison with vapor pressures obtained via fast DSC and TGA …”

Reliable
methods for determining the vapor pressures of organic
materials are of increasing importance as a tool for predicting the
behavior and fate of chemicals that are introduced into the environment.
In the present work, we analyze the method that relates the gas–liquid
chromatography (GLC) retention data, namely, the retention factors
(k) of selected organic compounds with their vapor
pressures (p
0) using multiple reference
standards. Temperature-dependent k values of test
chemicals and an adequate number y of reference standard
chemicals having directly measured vapor pressure values at temperatures
corresponding to GLC measurements are required to apply this method
(GLC-RTyS). Retention data of 49 test compounds including
a series of alkanes, alkanols, alkyl benzenes, phenols, some (hydro)naphthalene
derivatives, and menthol determined on a low-polar dimethylpolysiloxane
(HP-1) column at a temperature range from 353 K to (403 or 423) K
were used for method validation. We present a first systematic analysis
aimed at examining whether and to what extent the selection of experimental
conditions might influence/improve the results. Furthermore, we present
a review of an alternative multireference correlation gas chromatographic
(CGC) method that employs significant extrapolations and is based
on the use of adjusted retention time t′ instead
of k in order to reveal uncertainties inherent in
routine application of this method.
