“…In sequence of our studies on solvation of crown ethers [1][2][3], we report in the present work the results obtained for the calorimetric investigation of 1,4,7,10, 13,16-hexaoxacyclooctadecane in organic solvents and water at T ¼ 298:15 K. From the enthalpy of solution, D sol H m , and the enthalpy of sublimation, D sub H m , the enthalpy of solvation (transference of the solute from gas to solution), D solv H m , was determined. Infinite dilution is the reference state for enthalpies of solution and solvation.…”
