Abstract
The vapor pressures of six solid 5-X-1,10-phenanthrolines (where X = Cl, CH3, CN, OCH3, NH2, NO2) were determined in suitable temperature ranges by Knudsen Effusion Mass Loss (KEML). From the temperature dependencies of vapor pressure, the molar sublimation enthalpies, ΔcrgHm0(⟨T⟩), were calculated at the corresponding average ⟨T⟩ of the explored temperature ranges. Since to the best of our knowledge no thermochemical data seem to be available in the literature regarding these compounds, the ΔcrgHm0(⟨T⟩) values obtained by KEML experiments were adjusted to 298.15 K using a well known empirical procedure reported in the literature. The standard (p0 = 0.1 MPa) molar sublimation enthalpies, ΔcrgHm0(298.15 K), were compared with those determined using a recently proposed solution calorimetry approach, which was validated using a remarkable amount of thermochemical data of molecular compounds. For this purpose, solution enthalpies at infinite dilution of the studied 5-chloro and 5-methylphenantrolines in benzene were measured at 298.15 K. Good agreement was found between the values derived by the two different approaches, and final mean values of ΔcrgHm0(298.15 K) were recommended. Finally, the standard molar entropies and Gibbs energies of sublimation were also derived at T = 298.15 K. The volatilities of the six compounds were found to vary over a range of three orders of magnitude in the explored temperature range. The large difference in volatility was analyzed in the light of enthalpies and entropies of sublimation. The latter was tentatively put in relation to the rotational contribution of the substituent group on the phenanthroline unit.

1. Introduction
The aromatic heterocyclic compound 1,10-Phenanthroline is formed by three condensed rings (Figure 1), and is well known for its pronounced metal-ion complexing properties [1,2,3,4,5,6].

Several years ago, the molar heat capacities and some thermodynamic properties of phen, its 2,9-dimethyl derivative and polycyclic related compounds were determined in a suitable range of temperatures [7,8,9,10,11]. More recently, [12] we determined for the first time the enthalpies and entropies of sublimation/evaporation of 1,10-phenanthroline from vapor pressure measurements performed by the Knudsen effusion mass loss (KEML) technique on the solid phase and isothermal thermogravimetry (TG) on the liquid phase, supported by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to determine the enthalpy of fusion. Before that work, the only information available on thermodynamic properties of different phen derivatives, denoted as three-ring aza-aromatics, were on their sublimation enthalpies [13,14].
As a continuation of our work on tricyclic nitrogen heterocyclic compounds, we have undertaken a systematic study of the sublimation thermodynamics of 1,10-phenanthroline derivatives, for which thermodynamic information is extremely scarce. In particular, in this paper we focused on six 5-substituted 1,10-phenanthrolines, for which no thermodynamic information is presently available. The molecular structure of the compounds tested is reported in Figure 1. KEML measurements were performed on the crystal phases of these compounds and sublimation enthalpies derived. Furthermore, in the effort to perform a mutual validation of two completely independent techniques, the solution calorimetry method developed by Solomonov and co-workers [15,16] was also used for two compounds. This method is based on the relationship between evaporation/sublimation enthalpy and enthalpies of solution and solvation of a studied compound in a properly selected solvent. The main advantage of this method is that it is able to provide the stan-dard molar evaporation or sublimation enthalpy (above a liquid or solid, respectively) at 298.15 K by measuring the solution enthalpy of the compound tested in a selected solvent and using a group-additivity scheme for calculation of the solvation enthalpy, without any enthalpic contribution due to adjustment to the reference temperature.
It is well known that, while measuring vapor pressures is the most direct procedure to derive sublimation enthalpies, a reliable determination of this thermodynamic parameter at a reference temperature Tref can be completed. To this end, some experiments were performed using two or more different techniques in suitable temperature ranges above the same phase or on two different phases (i.e., above the solid and the liquid), as undertaken by our group in the recent past [17,18], as well as by using some additivity properties referred to as Tref (without the need to consider any contribution due to its adjustment to Tref), especially when no literature data are available (as in this case, according to our knowledge).
So, the aim of this study is to report the first vapor pressure and thermodynamic data on sublimation for six solid 5-x-1,10-phenanthrolines (where X = Cl, CH3, CN, OCH3, NH2, NO2) and to cross-validate with calorimetric results, with the view to guarantee the accuracy of the derived thermochemical properties.

In particular, 5-Cl- and 5-CH3-1,10-phenanthrolines were purchased (Sigma-Aldrich, purity > 98%) and used as received. The 1,10-Phenanthroline-5,6-epoxide, precursor for the synthesis of 5-CH3O-1,10-phenanthroline and 5-CN-1,10-phenanthroline, was prepared from reaction of 1,10-phenanthroline and sodium hypochlorite according to a literature procedure [19]. The synthesis route for 5-CN-1,10-phenanthroline, 5-CH3O-1,10-phenanthroline, 5-NO2-1,10-phenanthroline and 5-NH2-1,10-phenanthroline is reported in Figure 2, while all details for their preparation are shown in the Supplementary Information.

The synthesis of the 5-substituted nitro and amino derivatives (Figure 2c,d) was made according to a procedure reported in reference [20]. Water content in 5-Cl- and 5-CH3-1,10-phenanthrolines was checked using Karl Fischer titration (Mettler Toledo C20 Coulometric KF Titrator).
2.2. Instruments
2.2.1. DSC Measurements
The melting temperatures and the enthalpies of fusion have been determined using a STA625 Stanton Redcroft simultaneous TG/DSC apparatus, consisting of two open cylindrical shape aluminum pans, one empty for the reference and the other filled with a suitable amount of sample. DSC experiments were carried out under argon flow rate of 20 mL·min−1 at 2 K·min−1 and the raw data were acquired using a personal computer through the RSI Orchestrator software supplied by Rheometric Scientific. Calibration of temperature and heat flux was made using recommended high purity reference materials (benzoic acid and indium in this study), whose melting temperatures Tfus and enthalpies of fusion ΔcrlHm0 (Tfus) are well known [21,22]. Based on these calibrations, we estimated u(Tfus) = 2·u(T) = 0.2 K, while for the ΔcrlHm0(Tfus) the standard deviations of three replicates combined with the uncertainty of the heat flow calibration have been considered more appropriate.
2.2.2. KEML Measurements
The Knudsen effusion mass loss (KEML) experiments were carried out using a Ugine-Eyraud Model B60 Setaram thermobalance, accurately described in a previous paper [23]. It is essentially constituted by a furnace, a microbalance and a vacuum system. The measuring cell is housed in a copper cylinder with a cap, which has the purpose of equalizing the temperature of the sample to allow an optimal temperature measurement. The copper cylinder is suspended to the arm of the microbalance with a standard measurement uncertainty u(m) = 0.01 mg. The temperature was measured via a Pt100 Platinum Resistance Thermometer inserted into the copper cylinder, being the standard measurements uncertainty u(T) less than 0.2 K. The temperature control and the measurements of the mass loss are made through a data logger (HP 34970A) driven by a LabVIEW software that permits the continuous control of the system.
Two alumina cells (A and B) with different effusion orifice diameters (OD) of 3 and 1 mm, respectively, were alternatively used by loading approximately 50 mg of sample, previously purified by sublimation under reduced pressure. The instrumental Knudsen constant [24] was evaluated for each cell by performing KEML experiments (series A with OD = 3 mm and series B with OD = 1 mm) under identical conditions of the compounds tested using very pure calibration substances having well known vapor pressures (benzoic acid [25,26] in this study). During each KEML experiment the temperature of the sample was adjusted to evaluate the mass loss rate at different constant temperatures. For each experiment, the isothermal temperature explored was first decreased and then increased. This approach allows detecting possible changes in the composition of the sample caused by impurities or decomposition reactions. This procedure would produce a gradual variation of the sample’s vapor pressures, and, therefore, two non-overlapping data sets.
2.2.3. Solution Calorimetry Measurements
The solution enthalpies of 5-chloro and 5-methyl-1,10-phenanthrolines in benzene at infinite dilution were measured at T = 298 K in a concentration range from 1.6 to 7.13 mmol·kg−1 using a TAM III precision solution calorimeter (Table S1).
The samples were dissolved by breaking a glass ampule in a glass cell containing pure benzene. The details of the solution calorimetry experimental procedure have been fully described elsewhere [27].
3. Results and Discussion
3.1. Melting Parameters Determination by DSC Experiments
The melting temperatures and the enthalpies of fusion of the six 5-X-1,10-phenanthroline derivatives are reported in Table 2, along with the associated uncertainties. At the present time, according to our knowledge, no melting data concerning these compounds are available in literature.
Table 2.

| 5-Cl-1,10-phenanthroline | 396.5 ± 0.2 | 18.9 ± 0.6 |
| 5-CH3-1,10-phenanthroline | 384.3 ± 0.2 | 8.9 ± 0.4 |

| 5-NH2-1,10-phenanthroline | 525.1 ± 0.2 | 24.1 ± 0.8 |
a Uncertainty of melting temperature corresponds to twice the standard uncertainty of calibration temperature (u(Tfus)) = 2·u(T)). b Uncertainty related to the enthalpy of fusion combines the standard deviation of three replicates with the uncertainties of the heat flow calibration.

3.3. Sublimation Enthalpies of 1,10-Phenanthrolines Obtained by the Solution Calorimetry Approach
Determination of sublimation enthalpies of 5-chloro and 5-methyl-1,10-phenanthrolines is a challenging task since no values are now available in the literature, and it has prompted us to apply a solution calorimetry method for these compounds. The approach for determination of evaporation and sublimation enthalpies based on the relationship between evaporation/sublimation enthalpy of a compound Ai, with its solution ΔsolnHmAi/S and solvation ΔsolvHmAi/S enthalpies in a solvent S was developed and validated in [15,16,27,28]:
| ΔcrgHm0 = ΔsolnHmAi/S − ΔsolvHmAi/S, | (1) |
Enthalpies of solution of 5-chloro and 5-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline in benzene were measured by using solution calorimetry (see Table S1).
Enthalpies of solvation were predicted by using an additive scheme described elsewhere [16,28]. According to this approach, solvation enthalpy of substituted 1,10-phenanthrolines in benzene can be calculated using the following equation:
| ΔsolvHmAi/S = ΔsolvHmArH/S + Σ ΔsolvHmYi→CH/S + Σ ΔsolvHmXi→H/S, | (2) |
where ΔsolvHmArH/S is the solvation enthalpy of a parent aromatic compound, ΔsolvHmXi→H/S is the contribution to the solvation enthalpy related to a replacement of the hydrogen atoms by any other groups, and ΔsolvHmYi→CH/S is a contribution to the solvation enthalpy related to a replacement of the CH-group in aromatic rings by any other groups. In the case of the substituted 1,10-phenanthrolines the solvation enthalpies in benzene were calculated as a sum of solvation enthalpy of phenanthrene (−74.6 kJ·mol−1) [28] and the contribution related to the replacement of the CH-fragment in these rings by the specific units for 1,10-phenanthrolines: −N = (−5.4 kJ·mol−1) [16] and the contribution related to the replacement of the H-atom by the CH3—group (−3.5 kJ·mol−1), and Cl—group (−6.1 kJ·mol−1) [15].
Results of calculations of the ΔcrgHm0 values according to Equations (1) and (2) based on experimental solution enthalpies are given in Table 4.

In order to adjust the sublimation enthalpy values to the common reference temperature of 298 K, the following empirical formula proposed by Chickos et al. [29,30] was used:
| ΔcrgHm0(298.15 K)/kJ·mol−1 = ΔcrgHm0(⟨T⟩) + [ΔcrgCp,m0/J·K−1·mol−1]·(⟨T⟩/K − 298.15)/1000, |
(3) |
where [ΔcrgCp,m0/J·K−1·mol−1] = −[0.75 + 0.15·Cp,m0 (cr)], being Cp,m0 (cr), the isobaric standard molar heat capacities of the crystals at the reference temperature (not available in the literature). The Cp,m0 values estimated by the group additivity contribution method using the functional group values given in [31] and the ΔcrgCp,m0 values have been also reported in Table 6.
The standard molar sublimation enthalpies referenced to T = 298.15 K, ΔcrgH0m(298.15 K), calculated according to Equation (3) are reported in Table 6, along with those obtained using the solution calorimetry. It is worth noting that in all cases the values derived from KEML experiments with different effusion orifice diameters are in agreement within the corresponding error interval. Comparison of the sublimation enthalpies derived by the solution calorimetry approach and data measured by using KEML (Table 6) shows good agreement within the boundaries of the experimental uncertainties. Such a good agreement between different methods can be considered as evidence of the consistency of the sublimation data for 5-Cl- and 5-CH3-1,10-phenanthrolines in Table 6. For future thermochemical calculations, average sublimation enthalpies from two methods should be used.
The vapor pressure values at the average temperature T = ⟨T⟩, p(⟨T⟩), calculated using the regression parameters A and B displayed in Table 5, are given in Table 7, along with the molar sublimation entropies at ⟨T⟩ and p(⟨T⟩): ΔcrgSm0 (⟨T⟩, p(⟨T⟩). The standard molar sublimation entropies values ΔcrgS0m(298.15 K, p0), calculated at T = 298.15 K and at p0 = 0.1 MPa, are determined using the following equation
| ΔcrgSm0(298.15 K, p0)/J· K−1·mol−1 = ΔcrgSm0(⟨T⟩, p⟨T⟩)/J·K−1·mol−1 + ΔcrgCp,m0/J·K−1·mol−1 · ln[(298.15 K/⟨T⟩)] − R·ln(p0/p⟨T⟩) |

a OD = 1 mm (series B); b OD = 3 mm (series A); c Uncertainty of the averages of the standard sublimation entropies, enthalpies and Gibbs energies (uav) are calculated by combining the single uncertainties of the two series (uA and uB, respectively) according to the following expression: uav = ½·[(uA)2 + (uB)2] 0.5.
The values of both the standard molar sublimation entropies and Gibbs energy, ΔcrgS0m(298.15 K, p0) and ΔcrgG0m(298.15), respectively, are listed in Table 7, while the uncertainties due to the adjustment to 298 K were taken, as suggested in the literature [31], as one third of the correction itself.
The analysis of Figure 3 and Table 6 shows several interesting results. First, the volatilities of the 5-substituted 1,10-phenanthrolines here under study are very different depending on the substituent. In particular, the volatility of the amino-substituted compound is much lower than the cyano- and nitro-derivatives (whose vapor pressures are very similar) and, even more, lower than the methoxy-, methyl- and chloro- ones. In the temperature range explored in our experiments, the presence of the amino group leads to a vapor pressure by 20 to 40 times lower compared with cyano- and nitro-substituted 1,10-phenanthrolines. This difference is in large part associated with the high enthalpy of sublimation (Table 6), most probably due to the hydrogen bonds established by the amino group in the crystal phase, as observed by X-ray diffraction in aniline [33].
In the explored temperature range, the vapor pressure of the methoxy-substituted derivative is about 14–16 times higher than that of the corresponding cyano- and nitro- compounds, despite a very similar sublimation enthalpy. In this case the difference in volatility is mainly due to the entropic term, which is significantly higher for 5-methoxy-1,10-phenanthroline. In the case of the chloro-and methyl-derivative, which are the most volatile compounds in this group, the lowest enthalpy of sublimation largely overcomes the effect of the low entropy change. It is interesting to wonder to what extent the differences between the sublimation entropies of the six compounds (Table 7) may be read in the light of the rotation of the group in position five, which is expected to be enhanced in the gas phase compared to the crystal [34]. Indeed, this can account for the low value of the chloro-derivative, whereas the fairly large value of the cyano-derivative calls for a different explanation. In the case of the nitro- group, the partially double nature of the C–N bond could lower the gain in the rotational entropy compared to the methoxy-substituted compound, making the latter significantly more volatile, as mentioned above.
4. Conclusions
The Knudsen Effusion Mass Loss (KEML) technique was used for the first time to determine the vapor pressures of the six 5-substituted 1,10-phenanthrolines (with the following substituents: Cl, CH3, CN, OCH3, NH2, NO2. The molar sublimation enthalpies at the corresponding average temperature ⟨T⟩, were calculated from the temperature dependencies of vapor pressure. These values were adjusted to 298.15 K using a well known empirical procedure reported in the literature, and the standard (p0 = 0.1 MPa) molar sublimation enthalpies ΔcrgHm0(298.15 K) were compared with those determined using solution calorimetry, according to a procedure recently proposed for validation purpose. Good agreement was found between the values derived by the two different approaches. Finally, the standard molar entropies and Gibbs energies of sublimation were also derived at T = 298.15 K.
The volatility of the six compounds was found to vary over a range of three orders of magnitude going from the less volatile amino derivative to the most volatile methyl and chloro-substituted compounds. The observed trend of volatility amino < cyano ≅ nitro < methoxy < methyl ≅ chloro parallels, as expected, that of the corresponding sublimation enthalpies, with the exception of the methoxy derivative, whose volatility is one order of magnitude greater than that of the cyano and nitro compounds, in spite of a very similar sublimation enthalpy. An explanation of the increased volatility of the methoxy compound can be found in its larger sublimation entropy, possibly related in turn to the increase of the rotational entropy of the substituent group from the crystal to the gas phase. Indeed, the more the substituents are free to rotate in the gas phase compared to the crystal phase, the larger will be the related entropy gain due to sublimation. This might explain the low value of the sublimation entropy of the chloro-derivative and the larger values of the methoxy- and amino- compounds. A lower rotational gain could be speculated for the nitro- group due to the partially double nature of C–N bond that hinders the rotation of the substituent group of the molecule in the gaseous phase.
