Standard molar enthalpies of formation of nickel(II) β-diketonates and monothio-β-diketonates

The standard (p degrees = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation of the crystalline diaquobis(dibenzoylmethanate)nickel(II), Ni(DBM)(2)(H2O)(2), diaquobis(thenoyltrifluoroacetonate)nickel(II), Ni(TTFA)(2)(H2O)(2) bis(monothiodibenzoylmethanate)nickel(II), Ni(DBMS)(2) and bis(monothiothenoyltrifluoroacetonate)nickel(II), Ni(HTTFAS)(2) were determined, at T = 298.15 K, by high precision solution-reaction calorimetry. The standard molar enthalpy of sublimation of the monothiothenoyltrifluoroacetone (HTTFAS) complex was measured by high-temperature Calvet microcalorimetry. From the standard molar enthalpies of formation of the complexes in the gaseous state, the mean nickel(II)-ligand molar dissociation enthalpies, < D-m >(Ni-L), were derived.
