The standard (p∘ = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation, in the crystalline state, of the three thiophenecarboxylic acid derivatives, at T = 298.15 K, were derived from the standard massic energies of combustion, measured by rotating-bomb combustion calorimetry.The Knudsen mass loss effusion method was applied to determine the temperature–vapour pressure dependence, from which the standard molar enthalpies of sublimation, at T = 298.15 K, were derived by fitting data to the Clausius–Clapeyron equation.The values obtained were:Compounds-ΔfHm∘(cr)/(kJ · mol−1)ΔcrgHm∘/(kJ · mol−1)3-Methyl-2-thiophenecarboxylic acid393.6 ± 1.798.0 ± 0.45-Methyl-2-thiophenecarboxylic acid395.7 ± 1.6101.9 ± 0.35-Acetyl-2-thiophenecarboxylic acid547.8 ± 1.8123.5 ± 0.6Full-size tableTable optionsView in workspaceDownload as CSVThe standard (p∘ = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation, in the gaseous phase, were derived from the experimental results and the enthalpy of isomerisation between 3-methyl- and 5-methyl-2-thiophenenecarboxylic acids was calculated. Moreover, the results are compared with the analogue benzene derivatives and discussed in terms of molecular structure.
