Introduction We have commenced studies on the thermochemical properties of purine-like compounds with the aim of enlarging insight into the energetics of nucleic acids. Caffeine is a compound of considerable industrial and environmental significance. Caffeine is a relatively simple model compound, which is useful in understanding the structure–energy relationships of nucleic acids. Thermodynamic properties of caffeine have been extensively studied [1–5]. However, thermochemical data on caffeine are in apparent disarray (see Table 1). A very careful thermochemical study (combustion calorimetry and DSC) of two anhydrous polymorphs of caffeine has been recently published in this journal [6]. Several months later, another thermochemical study of caffeine [7] appeared in the same journal, where the reported combustion enthalpy of the a-phase of caffeine differs by about 20 kJ mol1. Since 1979, vapour pressure and enthalpies of sublimation of caffeine polymorphs have been measured [1] using diverse methods. We have carefully collected the primary experimental results on the temperature dependence of vapour pressure and phase transitions available in the literature [1–8] (see Tables 1 and 2). Analysis of the primary experimental data reveals that the sublimation enthalpies of the caffeine spread over 11 kJ mol1 for the a-polymorph, and over 4 kJ mol1 for the b-polymorph. The purpose of this paper is to resolve the existing disagreement between the available values of the sublimation enthalpies of caffeine, with * Corresponding author.

Additional support for the measured values comes from ab initio calculations of gaseous molar enthalpy of formation of caffeine using the G3MP2 method. 2. Experimental 2.1. Materials A sample of anhydrous caffeine obtained as the a-phase material (CAS registry number 58-08-2) was obtained from Sigma (USP grade). It was further purified by fractional sublimation at T = 383 K and at reduced pressure. The purity analyses were performed using a gas chromatograph (GC) with a flame ionisation detector. A HP-5 capillary column (stationary phase cross-linked 5% PH ME silicone) was used in all our experiments. The column was 30 m long, had an inside diameter of 0.32 mm , and a film thickness of 0.25 lm. The flow rate of the carrier gas (nitrogen) was maintained at 7.2 dm3 h1. The starting temperature for the GC was 323 K for the first 180 s, followed by heating to T = 523 K at the rate of 10 K min1. No impurities greater than 0.02 mass per cent were detected in the sample used in this work. 2.2. Vapour pressure measurements of caffeine Vapour pressure and enthalpies of sublimation, Dgcr Hm , of caffeine polymorphs were determined using the method of transpiration [9] in a saturated nitrogen stream.

Glass beads with a diameter of 1 mm provide a surface large enough for rapid (vapour + solid) equilibration. At constant temperature (±0.1 K), a nitrogen stream was passed through the U-tube and the transported amount of material was collected in a cooling trap. The flow rate of the nitrogen stream was measured using a soap bubble flow meter and was optimised in order to reach the saturation equilibrium of the transporting gas at each temperature under study. The transported material was collected in a special cold trap and the amount of condensed product was determined by weighing (±0.0001 g). The saturation vapour presat each temperature Ti was calculated from the amount sure psat i of the product collected within a definite period of time. Assuming that Dalton’s law of partial pressures applied to the nitrogen stream saturated with the substance i of interest is valid, values were calculated using the equation of psat i psat ¼ mi R T a =V M i ; i V ¼ V N2 þ V i ; 1 1 ðV N2 V i Þ; ð1Þ where R = 8.314472 J K mol , mi is the mass of the transported compound, Mi is the molar mass of the compound, and Vi is its volume contribution to the gaseous phase. VN2 is the volume of the carrier gas and Ta is the temperature of the soap bubble meter. The volume of the carrier gas, VN2, was determined from the flow rate and the time measurement. Standard ab initio molecular orbital calculations were performed with the Gaussian 03 Rev. 04 series of programs [10]. Energies were obtained at the G3MP2 level of theory. The G3 theory is a procedure for calculating the energies of molecules containing atoms of the first and second rows of the periodic chart based on ab initio molecular orbital theory. A modification of G3 theory that uses reduced orders of Moller–Plesset perturbation theory is the G3(MP2) theory [11,12]. This method saves considerable computational time compared to G3 theory with some loss in accuracy, but is much more accurate than G2MP2 theory. For all the species included in this study, full geometry optimisations were carried out at the HF/6-31G(d) level. The corresponding harmonic vibrational frequencies were evaluated at the same level of theory to confirm that the optimised structures found correspond to the potential energy minima and to allow the evaluation of the corresponding zero-point vibrational energies, ZPE, and the thermal corrections at T = 298 K. The ZPE values were scaled by the empirical factor 0.8929. All the minima found at the HF/6-31G(d) level were again fully re-optimised at the MP2(FULL)/6-31G(d) level. The G3MP2 theory uses geometries from second-order perturbation theory and scaled zero-point energies from Hartry–Fock theory followed by a series of single-point energy calculations at the MP2(Full), QCISD(T), and MP2/GTMP2Large levels of theory (for details see reference [12]). The enthalpy value of the compound studied at T = 298 K was evaluated according to the standard thermodynamic procedures [13]. 3. Results and discussion Caffeine was found to display a low-temperature a-polymorph modification at room temperature with the trigonal crystal structure [8]. At T = 414 K, the a-polymorph of caffeine transforms into a b-crystal phase [1] and remains in this phase until the melting process at T = 509 K [6,7] (see Table 2). 3.1. Vapour pressure and sublimation enthalpies Vapour pressures of caffeine polymorphs measured in this work and those from the literature [1–5] were treated with equations (2) and (3), respectively, b T þ Dgcr C p ln ; T T0 g g Dcr Hm ðTÞ ¼ b þ Dcr C p T: R ln psat ¼ aþ i Dgcr C p , ð2Þ ð3Þ The values of required for the correction of the sublimation enthalpies, have been derived according to a procedure developed by Chickos and Acree [14]. The following values: Dgcr C p ¼ 1 [6,14] for the a-phase and Dgcr C p ¼ 26:8 J K1 mol 1 1 40:8 J K mol [6,14] for the b-phase have been used in this 1 work. The value of Dgl C p ¼ 95:3 J K1 mol , required for adjusting the vaporization enthalpy (see Table 1), was calculated using the group contribution method of Chickos and Acree [14]. In order to assess the uncertainty of the sublimation enthalpy, the experimental data were approximated with the linear equation 1 Þ using the method of least squares. The uncertainty lnðpsat i Þ ¼ f ðT in the enthalpy of sublimation was assumed to be identical with the average deviation of the experimental lnðpsat i Þ values from this linear correlation. The experimental results for sublimation enthalpies, and parameters a and b according to equation (2) are listed in tables 1 and 3. In order to ensure complete phase conversion to the b-phase during the transpiration measurements, the sample was firstly heated to T = 434.5 K and was kept at this temperature for about 30 min. The vapour pressure experiments were consequently done from the higher to lower temperatures. 1663 V.N. Emel’yanenko, S.P. Verevkin / J. Chem.

As can be seen, our vapour pressures are in a good agreement with the results measured by the static method [1] and by the Knudsen effusion method [3,5]. Vapour pressures reported by Griesser et al. [4] lie systematically above the data available, most probably due to an error in the calibration. Vapour pressures measured using the effusion method [5] are somewhat below the available data, however, the trend seems to be correct. The sublimation enthalpy of the b-phase of caffeine derived in 1 this work, Dgcr Hm ð298:15 KÞ ¼ ð104:2 3:6Þ kJ mol , is definitely g lower than those from Griesser et al. [4] Dcr Hm ð298:15 KÞ ¼ 1 and Dgr Hm ð298:15 KÞ ¼ ð107:2 0:5Þ ð108:5 0:4Þ kJ mol , 1 kJ mol from Bothe and Cammenga [1], even taking into account the large uncertainty of our results. It was not possible for us to determine the sublimation enthalpy of the b-phase of caffeine by the transpiration method more precisely, because of the very restricted temperature range from (420 to 434) K, which was at the upper limit of our apparatus. The set of available sublimation enthalpies of the a-phase of caffeine also shows a large spread in values, from (106 to 117) kJ mol1 (see Table 1). There are two values from [3] and from [4] close to the level of 117 kJ mol1 and there are also two values ([5] and this work]) close to the level of 106 kJ mol1.

The dotted lines indicate the temperatures of the phase transitions. 3.2. Consistency tests of the experimental results Since a significant discrepancy in the available experimental sublimation enthalpy results collected in table 1 has been found, additional arguments to support the reliability of our new measurements are required. 3.2.1. Internal consistency of sublimation enthalpies and the enthalpy of phase transition A valuable test of the internal consistency of the experimental data of sublimation enthalpies for the a- and b-phase measured in this work (see Tables 1 and 3) is the comparison with the enthal- py of phase transition of caffeine obtained by calorimetry [1,2,6,7] (see Table 2) according to the general equation Dtrans Hm ða ! bÞ ¼ Dgcr Hm ða-phaseÞ Dgcr Hm ðb-phaseÞ: ð4Þ As can be seen from table 2, the DSC results for the phase transition DtransHm(a ? b) from different sources are very consistent and the average value of (3.8 ± 0.3) kJ mol1 was calculated from these results. Comparing the latter value with the enthalpy of phase transition calculated using equation (4) from the difference of Dgcr Hm (for the a and b phases) measured in this work (see Table 3): 1664 V.N. Emel’yanenko, S.P. Verevkin / J. Chem. Thermodynamics 40 (2008) 1661–1665 DtransHm(a ? b) = 108.1–104.2 = (3.9 ± 3.8) kJ mol1. This estimate does not differ from the results measured by calorimetry (see Table 3). Hence, in this way, our results for the sublimation enthalpies of the a- and b-phase seem to be consistent. Similar treatment of the sublimations enthalpies measured by Bothe and Cammenga [1] provide the values DtransHm (a ? b) = 112.4–107.2 = (5.2 ± 0.9) kJ mol1 and those from Griesser et al. [4]: Dtrans Hm(a ? b) = 116.6–108.5 = (8.1 ± 0.5) kJ mol1. Our results as well as those from Bothe and Cammenga [1] are internally consistent; disagreement between these data sets remains apparent. 3.2.2. Internal consistency of sublimation enthalpies adjusted to the temperature of fusion An additional argument to support the experimental results measured in this work is to consider the following thermochemical cycle: Dgcr Hm ðT fus Þ ¼ Dgl Hm ðT fus Þ þ Dlcr Hm ðT fus Þ ¼ 75:7 þ 21:4 1 ¼ ð97:1 0:9Þ kJ mol : ð5Þ The value Dgl Hm ðT fus Þ in equation (5) was obtained by adjusting the enthalpy of vaporization measured by a static manometer [1] (see Table 1) from Tav = 516.5 K to Tfus = 509 K. The value Dgl Hm ðT fus Þ in equation (5) is the average of the available literature data (see Table 2). The resulting Dgcr Hm ðT fus Þ ¼ ð97:1 0:9Þ kJ mol 1 could be compared with the similar adjustments of our new sublimation enthalpies (table 1), according to equation (6) for the b-phase of caffeine Dgcr Hm ðT fus Þ ¼ Dgcr Hm ðT av Þ þ Dgcr C p ðT av T fus Þ ¼ 98:9 0:0408 ð509 427Þ 1 ¼ ð95:6 3:6Þ kJ mol : ð6Þ For the adjustment of the sublimation enthalpy for the a-phase of caffeine, the phase transition DtransHm(a ? b) = (3.8 ± 0.3) kJ mol1 at Ttrans = 414 K (see Table 2) should be additionally taken into account and it should also be adjusted to Tfus. The adjustment for the a-phase of caffeine is as follows: Dgcr Hm ðT fus Þ ¼ Dgcr Hm ðT av Þ þ Dgcr C p ðT av T fus Þ Dtrans Hm ða ! bÞ ðT trans Þ þ Dgcr C p ðT trans T fus Þ ¼ 105:7 0:0268 ð509 388Þ 3:8 þ 0:0014 ð414 509Þ 1 ¼ ð97:4 1:1Þ kJ mol : ð7Þ As can be seen, results which have been obtained according to equations (5) to (7) are in excellent agreement. This fact provides the additional evidence for the internal consistency of the experimental results determined in this work. 3.2.3. Experimental enthalpies of formation of caffeine in the crystalline phase The values of enthalpies of sublimation Dgcr Hm at T = 298.15 K are required to obtain gaseous enthalpies of formation, Df Hm ðgÞ, of organic compounds, provided that their enthalpies of formation in the condensed phase, Df Hm (cr), are known. Standard molar 1 for enthalpies of formation Df Hm ðcrÞ ¼ ð345:1 2:3Þ kJ mol 1 for the bthe a-phase and Df Hm ðcrÞ ¼ ð340:6 2:3Þ kJ mol phase of caffeine were measured by Pinto and Diogo [6] by micro-combustion calorimetry. The difference between these values was derived according to Dtrans Hm ða ! bÞ ¼ Df Hm ; ðcrb-phaseÞ Df Hm ðcr;a-phaseÞ 1 ¼ ð4:5 3:2Þ kJ mol ð8Þ that has been proven [6] to be consistent with the phase transition enthalpy measured by DSC (see Table 3). The values are in close agreement with the value DtransHm(a ? b) = (2.0 ± 0.3) kJ mol1, measured using a solution calorimeter [6]. Surprisingly, the 1 for the most recent value, Df Hm ðcrÞ ¼ ð322:2 4:8Þ kJ mol a-phase of caffeine measured by Dong et al. [7] by using macro-combustion calorimetry is about 20 kJ mol1 less negative than the results from Pinto and Diogo [6]. We do not have any reasonable explanation for such discordance. Even if the sample by Dong et al. [7] was contaminated with the b-phase, the disagreement could be only within (2 to 5) kJ mol1 as shown above. We shall try to resolve this contradiction with the help of our new values of sublimation enthalpies and high-level ab initio calculations. 3.2.4. Experimental enthalpies of formation of caffeine in the gaseous phase Values of sublimation enthalpies of caffeine, derived in this work, have been checked for internal consistency. These values (see Table 3) can now be used for further calculation of the standard enthalpies of formation, Df Hm ðgÞ at T = 298.15 K, of caffeine. For this purpose, we selected first the enthalpies of formation Df Hm ðcrÞ of for a- and b-phase of caffeine reported by Pinto and Diogo [6] and the resulting values of the standard molar enthalpies 1 of formation Df Hm ðgÞ ¼ ð237:0 2:5Þ kJ mol (from the ther modynamic properties of a-phase) and Df Hm ðgÞ ¼ ð236:4 4:3Þ 1 kJ mol (from the thermodynamic properties of b-phase). The very good agreement between these values is again further evidence of the internal consistency of the results selected in this work. However, the absolute value of the gaseous enthalpy of formation of caffeine still remains questionable. An additional possibility to test the consistency of the selected data is the comparison of the experimental gaseous enthalpy of formation of caffeine with the value calculated using quantum chemical calculations. Such a test could be performed in the manner we suggested recently [15,16]. 3.2.5. Enthalpy of formation of caffeine in the gaseous phase: quantum chemical calculations The ab initio molecular orbital methods used for the calculation of the enthalpy of formation of caffeine have not been yet reported in the literature. We have calculated using the G3MP2, a total energy at T = 0 K, E0 = 679.383314 Hartree and enthalpy at T = 298.15 K, H298 = 679.369094 Hartree. In standard Gaussian-n theories, theoretical standard enthalpies of formation, Df Hm ðgÞ, are calculated through atomization reactions [12]. Using this proce1 dure we have obtained for caffeine Df Hm ðgÞ ¼ 235:5kJ mol . Thus, the theoretical enthalpy of formation of caffeine is in excellent agreement with the experimental values derived from combustion experiments by Pinto and Diogo [6] and enthalpies of sublimation measured in this work. Hence, with the help of this theoretical result we are able to resolve the uncertainty in the available thermochemical data on caffeine. 4. Conclusion This investigation was undertaken to establish a consistent set of vapour pressures, sublimation, and formation enthalpies of caffeine. We collected from the literature a large number of primary experimental results and treated them uniformly in order to derive the sublimation enthalpies at the reference temperature T = 298.15 K. The data sets on phase transitions were checked for internal consistency. This collection together with the new experimental results and theoretical calculations reported here has helped to resolve contradictions in the available thermochemical V.N. Emel’yanenko, S.P. Verevkin / J. Chem. Thermodynamics 40 (2008) 1661–1665 data and to recommend consistent and reliable sublimation and formation enthalpies for caffeine.
