Thermochemical Study on Ternary Solid Complex of La(Gly)2(Ala)3Cl3·2H2O(s)

The complex of lanthanum chloride with Glycine and Alanine,La(Gly)2(Ala)3Cl3·2H2O,was synthesized and characterized by IR,elementary analysis,thermogravimetric analysis,and chemical analysis.The dissolution enthalpies of LaCl3 ·7H2O(s),2Gly(s)+ 3Ala(s)and La(Gly)2(Ala)3Cl3 ·2H2O(s)were determined in 2 mol·L-1 HCl by a solution-reaction isoperibol calorimeter.By designing a thermochemical cycle in terms of Hess’ Law and through calculation,the reaction enthalpy of lanthanum chloride seven-hydrate with Glycine and Alanine was obtained:ΔrHθm(298.15 K)=(29.652±0.504)kJ·mol-1,and the standard enthalpy of formation of La(Gly)2(Ala)3Cl3·2H2O(s)ΔfHθm [La(Gly)2(Ala)3Cl3·2H2O,s,298.15 K]=-4467.6±8.3 kJ·mol-1.
