Thermodynamic Investigation of Polyhydroxylated Derivatives of Light Fullerenes
Abstract
Isobaric heat capacities of C60(OH)40 and C70(OH)12 fullerenols were measured using adiabatic calorimetry in the temperature range of 0–320K along with standard thermodynamic functions: Sm, [Φm(T)−Φm(0)] and [Hm(T)−Hm(0)]. Furthermore, the molar entropy of formation and the molar third law entropy of C60(OH)40 and C70(OH)12 in crystalline state at 298.15K were calculated.
