Heat-Capacity and Thermodynamic Functions of Crystalline 4,4"’-Difluoro-P-Quaterphenyl
The heat capacity of crystalline 4,4triple prime-difluoro-p-quaterphenyl was measured between 8 and 303 K by adiabatic calorimetry. A broad heat-capacity anomaly was found at 200.5 +/- 0.5 K and attributed to a phase transition associated with molecular twisting. Some thermodynamic properties including those concerning the phase transition are reported.
