The prepared adducts CdCl2. xgly (x = 1, 2 and gly = glycine) were characte
rized by infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetry and differential scanning
calorimetry. The infrared spectra showed that cadmium is coordinated throug
h the carbonyl oxygen and the nitrogen atoms in the monoadduct and only car
bonyl groups are involved in the bisadduct. The monoadduct melted before th
ermal degradation, suggesting the existence of a weaker intermolecular forc
e as confirmed by standard molar enthalpy of dissolution values of 16.47 +/
- 0.01 and 28.94 +/- 0.01 kJ mol(-1) for 1:1 and 1:2 adducts, respectively.
The standard molar enthalpy of reaction in the condensed phase: CdCl2(c) xgly(c)= CdCl2. xgly(c); Delta(r)H(m)(theta) gave -9.52 + /- 0.05 and -8.1
0 +/- 0.10 kJ mol(-1) and the interaction in aqueous medium: CdCl2(aq) + xg
ly(aq) = CdCl2. xgly(aq); Delta(aq)H(m)(theta), gave -0.13 +/- 0.07 and 0.0
0 +/- 0.14 kJ mol(-1) for CdCl2. gly and CdCl2. 2gly, respectively. From De
lta(r)H(m)(theta) values the standard molar enthalpies of formation of the
adducts were calculated as -912.48 +/- 6.60 and -1444.40 +/- 13.60 kJ mol(-
1). The enthalpies of decomposition 130.5 +/- 10.8 and 209.3 +/- 8.4, latti
ce -190.7 +/- 0.1 and 271.9 +/- 21.6 and reaction in the gaseous phase 599.
8 +/- 16.8 and -329.3 +/- 5.0 kJ mol(-1) for CdCl2. gly and CdCl2. 2gly add
ucts were also calculated. From data of the reaction in the gaseous phase t
he mean enthalpy of the cadmium-oxygen bond was calculated as 82.3 +/- 5.0
kJ mol(-1) for the bisadduct, which was restricted for a monoadduct due to
the presence of distinct isomers. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights
