Abstract
The heat of dimerization of
cyclopentadiene to endo-dicyciopentadiene in the liquid phase at 25� was measured
in an adiabatic calorimeter to be -9.22 � 0.3 kcal/mole monomer. The rate of
dimerization in the liquid phase at 25� was followed with a dilatometer and the
initial second-order rate constant found to be 4.99 x 10-5. mole-l
min-l. The vapour pressure of
endo-dicyclopentadiene, measured by a boiling point method in the range
77.5-149.6�, gave the relation (p in torr):
RInp ? 11342/T -2.6505In T + 54.7855
The standard heats of
formation of solid, 31.1 � 0.5 kcal/mole, and gaseous, 42.2 � 0. 6 kcal/mole,
endo-dicyclopentadiene were derived, and the strain
energy and dimerization equilibria discussed.
