Enthalpy and Heat Capacity Data for 1,2-Cyclohexanediol

thermodynamic properties of different geometric structures of 1,2-cyclohexanediol which were rarely reported in literature, such as combustion enthalpy, formation enthalpy, melting enthalpy and heat ca-pacities, were determined by NETZSCH DSC 204 Scanning Calorimeter. relationship between the melting point and the composition for the mixture system of cis-1,2-cyclohexanediol and trans-1,2-cyclohexanediol was investigated and corresponding phase diagram was obtained. The melting enthalpies of both cis-1,2-cyclohexanediol and trans-1,2-cyclohexanediol are 20.265kJ·mol-1 and 16.368kJ·mol-1 respectively. standard combustion enthalpies of cia- and trans-1,2-cyclohexaneddiol were determined by calorimeter. They are respec-tively -3507.043 kJ·mol-1 and - 3497.8 kJ·mol-1 at 298.15 K.The standard formation enthalpies are respectively 568.997 kJ·mol-1 and 578.240 kJ·mol-1 for cia- and trans -1,2-cyclohexaneddiol.
