Abstract

The excess molar enthalpies (HmE) for the binary mixtures of trimethyl phosphate (TMP) with alkanols {CH3(CH2)nOH, n = 0–3} have been measured with an isothermal calorimeter at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure. The HmE values are positive for all the mixtures over the whole composition range. The values increase in the order methanol < ethanol < 1-propanol < 1-butanol. The experimental results have been correlated with the Redlich–Kister equation.

Introduction

The study of hydrogen bonded systems involving organic phosphates is of considerable significance for a variety of reasons. Organic phosphates–water systems serve as model systems for understanding biological processes [1], [2], [3]. Organic phosphates also have widely industrial applications, as extractant used together with diluent in a number of solvent extraction processes [4], [5], [6], as flame-retardant to reduce the electrolyte flammability in lithium ion cells [7], [8]. Because of its importance in influencing a variety of chemical and biochemical processes, a number of studies on the hydrogen bonded interactions of organic phosphates, such as trimethyl phosphate (TMP) and tributyle phosphate (TBP), with the proton donors, such as water and alcohols, have been reported [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14]. These studies are mainly performed using IR, NMR, and computation.

The thermodynamic properties, especially the excess molar enthalpy for hydrogen bonded systems, are important and useful for understanding the formation of hydrogen bonded complex. The thermodynamic properties for a few mixtures involving TMP or TBP have been studied [15], [16], [17], [18], [19], but the excess molar enthalpy HmE of TMP with alkanols over the whole composition range has not been reported. Continuing our interesting in the HmE of TBP with alkanols [18], the excess molar enthalpies for the mixtures of (trimethyl phosphate + methanol/ethanol/1-propanol/1-butanol) at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure are reported in the present paper.

Materials

Trimethyl phosphate (AR, mole fraction >0.99, Alfa), methanol (GR, mole fraction >0.995, Sinopharm Group Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd.), ethanol (GR, mole fraction >0.995, Sinopharm Group Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd.), 1-propanol (AR, mole fraction >0.998, Tianjin Bodi Chemical Co., Ltd.), 1-butanol (AR, mole fraction >0.998, Tianjin Bodi Chemical Co., Ltd.) were used without further purification other than drying with 3A (Ø 3–5 mm, spherical) molecular sieves. Care was taken to protect the samples

Results and discussion

The experimental values of HmE are listed in supplement and shown in Fig. 2. The experimental data were regressed with all points weighted equally by the Redlich–Kister equation:HmE(Jmol1)=x(1x)n=1An(2x1)n1where x is the mole fraction of TMP, An are fitting parameter, and n is the number of fitting parameters. These parameters are listed in Table 1 together with the standard deviation.

All systems (TMP + alkanols) showed endothermic and same behaviour over the whole range of composition,

    The ΔSolvHEtOH° database for enthalpy is published elsewhere [12,114]. In Table S4 we have tabulated the experimental ΔSolvHEtOH° values that have been added to the ethanol enthalpy of solvation data set, along with the pertinent literature references [20–24,28,36,60,93,96,107,115–117] for the added experimental values. We have assembled in Table S1 values of ΔSolvH2-PrOH° for 91 organic vapors and gases dissolved in 2-propanol covering a reasonably wide range of compound type and descriptor value.
