Enthalpies of solvation of hydroxyl cyclohexane derivatives in different solvents

The enthalpies of solution of cyclohexanol, cis-1,2-cyclohexanediol, and my o-inositol in water, formamide, and dimethylsulphoxide at T = 298.15 K as w ell as their enthalpies of vaporization or sublimation were determined. The enthalpies of solvation were calculated from the data obtained. The contri butions of the polar and non-polar groups to the behaviour of the solute mo lecules in polar solvents are analysed by using the enthalpy of solvation d ata. (C) 1999 Academic Press.
