Popis: The vaporization enthalpies {ΔglHm (298.15 K)} of endo- and exo-tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene (THDCPD) have been measured by correlation gas chromatography. Values of (50.2±2.3) kJ · mol −1 and (49.1±2.3) kJ · mol −1 have been obtained for the endo and exo isomers, respectively. The sublimation enthalpy of the endo isomer { Δ g cr H m (298.15 K )=(51.2±2.4) kJ · mol −1 } has been obtained by combining fusion and vaporization enthalpies adjusted as necessary to T=298.15 K. Low-temperature d.s.c. studies of both isomers reveal solid-to-solid phase transitions. The endo isomer, which is a plastic crystal at room temperature, exhibits a solid-to-solid phase transition at T=214 K { Δ cr (1) cr (2) H m (214 K )=(10.7±0.13) kJ · mol −1 } and a melting temperature of 356.8 K { Δ l cr (1) H m (356.8 K )=(3.48±0.2) kJ · mol −1 } with some evidence of polymorphism. The exo isomer exhibits a solid phase transition at T=162.1 K { Δ cr (1) cr (2) H m (162.1 K )=(3.18±0.11) kJ · mol −1 } and a melting temperature of 183.2 K { Δ l cr (1) H m (183.2 K )=(1.20±0.04) kJ · mol −1 } . Enthalpies of vaporization and sublimation are combined with the respective enthalpies of formation previously reported to yield the following gas-phase values: for endo THDCPD, Δ f H ∘ m =−(61.9±3.2) kJ · mol −1 ; and for exo-THDCPD, Δ f H ∘ m =−(73.7±2.7) kJ · mol −1 .
