The heat capacity of (n-C6H13NH3)2MnCl4 has been measured by adiabatic calorimetry from 18 to 313 K. Two structural phase transitions were observed in this compound at Ttr= 206.3 ± 0.1 K (ΔHtr= 5311 ± 38 J mol–1, ΔStr= 25.73 ± 0.2 J K–1 mol–1) and at Ttr= 290.9 ± 0.05 K (ΔHtr= 10035 ± 24 J mol–1, ΔStr= 37.17 ± 0.1 J K–1 mol–1). From comparison with results for the other members of this series with longer alkyl chains, it is concluded that the general trends in their phase transitions are only observed when the number of carbons in the alkyl chains exceeds six. |
