Heat capacities of 2-propenol and selected cyclohexylalcohols

• Heat capacities of four alcohols were determined by Tian–Calvet calorimetry.
• Results were compared with selected estimation methods.
• Phase behaviour was explored by differential scanning calorimetry.

Isobaric heat capacities of four selected alcohols, cyclohexanemethanol (CAS RN: 100-49-2), cyclohexaneethanol (CAS RN: 4442-79-9), cyclohexanepropanol (CAS RN: 1124-63-6), and 2-propenol (CAS RN: 107-18-6), were measured with a sensitive Tian–Calvet calorimeter in the temperature range from 254 K to 352 K. The phase behaviour was investigated with a differential scanning calorimeter. Experimental heat capacity data were correlated as a function of temperature. The main aim of this work was to fill the gap in reliable heat capacity data for these compounds and to extend the knowledge base required for better understanding of alcohols self-association.
