The intermolecular hydrogen-bonding self-association of the three cresols in CCl4 solutions at 25 °C has been investigated by calorimetric means. Calorimetrically determined heats of dilution of each of the cresols in anhydrous CCl4 are interpreted in terms of two different models: (i) dimerization and trimerization self-association reactions, and (ii) dimerization followed by stepwise polymerization self-association reactions. Values of K, ΔH0, and ΔS0 for these reactions are calculated using least-squares and other methods. Results show that o-cresol is clearly less associated in anhydrous CCl4 solution at 25 °C than either m- or p-cresol. Values of K2 and K3 (both based on molar concentrations of solutes) and ΔH20and ΔH30 (kcal) for the reactions [Formula: see text] respectively, are o-cresol: 0.7, 1.3,−3.4,−12.5; m-cresol: 0.8, 5.0,−5.0,−13.6; p-cresol: 0.35, 6.5,−5.5,−13.4. Values of K2 and Ks (both based on molar concentrations of solutes) and ΔH20 and ΔHs0 (kcal) for the reactions [Formula: see text] (all n > 2 with same Ks and ΔHS0), respectively, are o-cresol: 0.7, 1.6, −4.2, −4.5; m-cresol: 1.2, 4.0, −5.0, −4.3; p-cresol: 1.0, 7.0, −3.3, −3.5.
