Sublimation Enthalpies of Organic Compounds: A Very Large Database with a Match to Crystal Structure Determinations and a Comparison with Lattice Energies

A database of 1655 critically evaluated sublimation enthalpies of organic compounds is presented. Experimental techniques are briefly reviewed. The consistency of experimental measurements is critically analyzed also as a function of temperature. Isomer effects and chain-length trends in linear substituted alkanes are described. For 737 entries, a match is found with the X-ray structure determination of the corresponding crystalline material as...
