Densities and heat capacities have been measured for aqueous solutions of L-asparagine, L-glutamine, glycylglycine, glycyl-L-valine, glycyl-L-asparagine, and glycyl-DL-leucine at 288.15, 298.15, 313.15, and 328.15 K. These data have been used to calculate apparent molar volumes, V2,ø, and apparent molar heat capacities, Cp,2,ø, which in turn have been used to obtain standard state volumes, [Formula: see text] and heat capacities, [Formula: see text] The semi-empirical modelling procedures of Helgeson, Kirkham, and Flowers have been used to subdivide the calculated standard state volume and heat capacity data into solvation and nonsolvation contributions. The nonsolvation components of the standard state properties are used in group additivity analyses. These analyses yield structural contributions to standard state volumes and heat capacities for the CH(NH2)CO2H, CH2, OH, COOH, CH, CONH2, and CONH groups. The temperature dependences of these contributions are discussed. Some comments are reported concerning the practicality of using the thermodynamic properties of aqueous amino acid and peptide systems as the basis for modelling standard state thermodynamic properties of aqueous protein systems. Keywords: heat capacities, densities, volumes, amino acids, peptides, group additivity.

The thermodynamics of amino acid systems are key to the understanding of protein chemistry. We have found that many previous studies of the apparent molar volumes and heat capacities of aqueous solutions of amino acids were conducted at the standard temperature of 298.15 K. This does not allow for the fact that most biological processes occur at temperatures removed from this standard condition.In an attempt to address this imbalance we have measured densities and heat capacities for aqueous solutions of glycine, L-alanine, L-serine, and L-threonine at 288.15, 298.15, 313.15, and 328.15 K using a Picker flow microcalorimeter. Apparent molar volumes and heat capacities, and the associated standard state partial molar properties have been calculated. Constant pressure variations of revised Helgeson, Kirkham, and Flowers equations have been fitted to calculated standard state volumes and heat capacities over the temperature range 288.15 to 328.15 K. These equations may be used to estimate standard state volumes and heat capacities, and hence equilibrium constants, for aqueous amino acid systems at higher temperatures.

Densities and volumetric heat capacities have been measured for aqueous solutions of L-valine, L-leucine, and L-isoleucine at 288.15, 298.15, 313.15, and 328.15 K. These data have been used to calculate apparent molar volumes, [Formula: see text] and apparent molar heat capacities, [Formula: see text] which in turn have been used to obtain standard state volumes, [Formula: see text] and standard state heat capacities, [Formula: see text] for each aqueous amino acid system. Helgeson, Kirkham, and Flowers equations, for neutral organics in water, have been used to model the calculated standard state volumes and heat capacities of the amino acids as a function of temperature at constant pressure. The results of our fitting procedures may be used to predict the behaviour of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for the selected amino acid systems outside of the temperature range utilised in this investigation.

Measurements at 25 °C with flow calorimeters and densimeters have led to heat capacities and densities of aqueous solutions of 15 unsaturated heterocyclic compounds containing nitrogen. From the results of these measurements we have obtained apparent molar heat capacities and volumes of the solutes. Extrapolations to infinite dilution have led to corresponding standard state apparent and partial molar heat capacities and volumes, which have been analyzed in terms of atomic and group additivity relationships.

Apparent molar heat capacities and volumes of aqueous solutions containing HClO4 and HNO3 have been determined from 10 to 55 °C. The temperature dependences of the standard state heat capacities and volumes of ClO4− (aq) and NO3− (aq) from 10 to 55 °C were found to be well represented by the following equations:[Formula: see text]Combination of the experimental results with semiempirical equations for ion–solvent interaction has led to predictions of the standard state volumes and heat capacities for these ionic species at higher temperatures. Keywords: heat capacities, volumes, nitric acid, perchloric acid.

Densities of aqueous solutions of AlCl3 (containing dilute HCl) have been measured at 10, 25, 40, and 55 °C with results that have led to defined apparent molar volumes. We have used the Pitzer ion interaction model as the basis for analyzing these apparent molar volumes to obtain standard state (infinite dilution) partial molar volumes of AlCl3(aq) at each temperature. We have also made similar use of apparent molar heat capacities of aqueous solutions of AlCl3–HCl and Al(NO3)3–HNO3 from Hovey and Tremaine to obtain standard state partial molar heat capacities of AlCl3(aq) and Al(NO3)3(aq) at these same temperatures. Finally, the standard state partial molar volumes and heat capacities have been used with the Helgeson–Kirkham semi-theoretical equation of state for aqueous ions to provide a basis for estimating the thermodynamic properties of Al3+(aq) at high temperatures and pressures.

A flow microcalorimeter and vibrating tube densimeter were used at 25 °C to obtain apparent molar heat capacities and volumes of aqueous NaHCO3, KHCO3, NaHSO3, and KHSO3, from 0.1 to 1.0 mol kg−1, aqueous CO2 from 0.01 to 0.10 mol kg−1 and aqueous SO2 from 0.045 to 2.0 mol kg−1. The contribution of "chemical relaxation" (changes in equilibrium state and enthalpy due to change in temperature) to the experimental heat capacities of aqueous SO2 required special attention, leading to the derivation of a new equation for calculating this effect. Standard state values for the heat capacities and volumes of aqueous CO2, SO2, HCO3−, and HSO3− were obtained from the apparent molar properties by extrapolation to infinite dilution. Combining these results with other thermodynamic data from the literature gave estimates of log K1b the equilibrium constant for the first neutralization of CO2 and SO2, at high temperatures. The results for CO2 reproduce very accurate literature values to within 0.2 at 200 °C. The expression for the reaction [Formula: see text] log K1b = 22.771 + 2776.0/T–8.058 log T, is consistent with the sparse and limited experimental data.

Densities and specific heats were measured for the aqueous sodium salts of benzenesulfonate, p-toluenesulfonate, 2,4- and 2,5-dimethylbenzenesulfonate, mesitylenesulfonate, and p-ethylbenzenesulfonate. The limiting partial molar volumes, [Formula: see text] and heat capacities, [Formula: see text], lead to revised values in the group contributions for aromatic —CH2— and —CH3 groups in the additivity scheme proposed by Perron and Desnoyers. The heat capacities of substituted alkylbenzenes can deviate from group additivity by as much as 70 and 40 J K−1 mol,−1, respectively, when polar groups are located on the α and β positions of the alkyl chain.

Thermodynamic investigation by calorimetric measurements of the layered organic superconductors, κ-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu[N(CN)2]Br and its partially deuterated compounds of κ-(d[2,2]-BEDT-TTF)2Cu[N(CN)2]Br and κ-(d[3,3]-BEDT-TTF)2Cu[N(CN)2]Br, performed in a wide temperature range is reported. The latter two compounds were located near the metal–insulator boundary in the dimer-Mott phase diagram. From the comparison of the temperature dependences of their heat capacities, we indicated that lattice heat capacities of the partially deuterated compounds were larger than that of the pristine compound below about 40 K. This feature probably related to the lattice softening was discussed also by the sound velocity measurement, in which the dip-like structures of the Δv/v were observed. We also discussed the variation of the electronic heat capacity under magnetic fields. From the heat capacity data at magnetic fields up to 6 T, we evaluated that the normal-state γ value of the partially deuterated compound, κ-(d[3,3]-BEDT-TTF)2Cu[N(CN)2]Br, was about 3.1 mJ K−2 mol−1. Under the magnetic fields higher than 3.0 T, we observed that the magnetic-field insulating state was induced due to the instability of the mid-gap electronic state peculiar for the two-dimensional dimer-Mott system. Even though the volume fraction was much reduced, the heat capacity of κ-(d[3,3]-BEDT-TTF)2Cu[N(CN)2]Br showed a small hump structure probably related to the strong coupling feature of the superconductivity near the boundary.
