Abstract

The formation thermodynamic properties of crystalline and aqueous inosine have been determined by using a combination of calorimetric techniques. Oxygen bomb calorimetric measurements on crystalline inosine yielded a standard molar enthalpy of combustion of DcH m= ?(4802.2 4.5) kJ mol-1. From this, a value for the standard molar enthalpy of formation DfH m of ?(847.9 4.7) kJ mol-1 was obtained. The standard molar heat capacity of crystalline inosine has been measured over the temperature interval 15 = T/K = 325 by using an adiabatic calorimeter. The heat capacities were fit to a series of polynomials from which smoothed values for the standard thermal properties were calculated for 20 = T/K = 320. The standard molar entropy DT0S m(inosine,cr) at T = 298.15 K is (287.99 0.58) J K-1 mol-1 and the standard molar entropy of formation DfS m is -(1449.6 0.6) J K-1 mol-1. The standard Gibbs free energy of formation DfG m(inosine, cr) = ?(415.7 4.7) kJ mol-1. By using literature values of the standard molar enthalpy of solution and the saturation molality of inosine(cr), the standard molar thermodynamic properties of aqueous inosine at T = 298.15 K are found to be DfH m(inosine,aq) = -(819.8 4.7) kJ mol-1; DfG m(inosine,aq) = ?(409.2 4.8) kJ mol-1; and DT0S m(inosine,aq) = (360.1 1.8) J K?1 mol-1. These results are used to calculate standard thermodynamic properties of various aqueous species involving inosine, etc.
