Two novel crystalline compounds (1-C15H31NH3)2CdCl4(s) and (1-C16H33NH3)2CdCl4(s), which may be used as the solidesolid phase change materials, were synthesized. X-ray crystallography was applied to characterize crystal structures of the two compounds. Both of them are monoclinic, the space group is both C2/ c, and Z ¼ 4. Lattice potential energies (UPOT) of the title compounds were calculated to be 832.31 kJ mol1 for (1-C15H31NH3)2CdCl4(s) and 814.26 kJ mol1 for (1-C16H33NH3)2CdCl4(s). Low-temperature heat capacities of the two compounds were measured by a precise automatic adiabatic calorimeter in the temperature range from 78 to 395 K. The temperatures, molar enthalpies and entropies of two phase transitions for each of the two compounds were determined. The smoothed heat capacities and thermodynamic functions of the two compounds relative to the standard reference temperature 298.15 K were calculated and tabulated at 5 K intervals based on experimental heat capacities.

1. Introduction With social development, energy crisis is becoming more and more serious. Thermal energy storage is a relatively new technology with a growing interest for many thermal applications. Phase change materials (PCMs) are one of the most important thermal energy storage materials due to high latent heat storage density and almost constant temperature during phase change. Bis-alkylammonium tetrahalogenometallate (II) (1CnH2nþ1NH3)2MX4, in which M is a divalent transition metal atom, X is a halogen atom, and n varies between 8 and 18, is a kind of important solidesolid phase change material [1e5]. It is mainly composed of thick alkylammonium layer (1-CnH2nþ1NH3)þ and thin inorganic layer [MCl4]2, and each alkylammonium chain is bound to the layer [MCl4]2 by NeH.Cl hydrogen bonds [6]. Bisalkylammonium tetrachlorometallate (II) can be also called as a layered perovskite compound. Phase change materials have many applications fields, such as solar energy storage, waste heat recovery, smart air-conditioning buildings, temperature-adaptable greenhouses, electric appliances with thermostatic regulator, energy storage kitchen utensil, and insulation clothing [7]. And due to some unique properties which

solidesolid phase change material owns during phase transition, such as small change in volume, no volatilization and shape plasticity, this kind of material has attracted the great attention in recent years. In this paper, crystal compounds (1-C15H31NH3)2CdCl4(s) and (1-C16H33NH3)2CdCl4 are synthesized, and their crystal structures are characterized by X-ray crystallography. Low-temperature heat capacities of the two compounds are measured by a precise automatic adiabatic calorimeter in the temperature range from (78e395) K and their thermodynamic properties of solidesolid phase transitions are determined. 2. Materials and methods 2.1. Materials Anhydrous methyl alcohol as the solvent, n-pentadecylamine (J&K Scientific Ltd. China), n-cetylamine (J&K Scientific Ltd. China), hydrochloride acid (37%) and cadmium chloride hydrate as the reactants are all of analytical grade. The reactants are accurately weighed at molar ratio of n[(1-CnH2nþ1NH3)2CdCl4 (n ¼ 15 and 16)]:n(hydrochloride acid):n(CdCl2∙2.5H2O) ¼ 2:2:1. Hydrochloride acid is slightly excessive and slowly dissolved in anhydrous methyl alcohol. The mixture is heated by an electric jacket, stirred under boiling, and refluxed for 4 h. The final solution is laid aside, and several days later, the colorless transparent crystals are obtained. The crystals are washed by ether three times and

capacity measurement are described in detail elsewhere [9,10]. Heat capacity measurement is continuously and automatically carried out by the standard method of intermittently heating the sample and alternately measuring the temperature. The liquid nitrogen is used as the refrigerating medium. The heating rate and temperature increment during heat capacity measurement are generally controlled at 0.1e0.4 K min1 and 1e3 K. The heating duration is 10 min, and the temperature drift rate of the sample cell measured in an equilibrium period is always kept within 104 K min1 during the acquisition of all heat capacity data. The data of heat capacity and corresponding equilibrium temperature [10] are corrected according to heat exchange of the sample cell with its surroundings. The reliability of the performance of the calorimeter is confirmed by measuring heat capacities of the reference standard material (a-Al2O3) in the temperature range from 78 to 400 K. Deviations of experimental results from the

smoothed curve lie within 0.20%, while the uncertainty is 0.30%, as compared with the data given by the former National Bureau of Standards [11] in the whole temperature range. The sample masses used for calorimetric measurement is 1.93755 g for (1-C15H31NH3)2CdCl4(s), and 1.81725 g for (1C16H33NH3)2CdCl4(s), which is equivalent to 2.725  103 mol and 2.459  103 mol on the basis of their molar masses M[(1C15H31NH3)2CdCl4, s] ¼ 711.06 g mol1 and M[(1-C16H33NH3)2CdCl4, s] ¼ 739.12 g mol1. 3. Results 3.1. Crystal structures of (1-CnH2nþ1NH3)2CdCl4 (n ¼ 15 and 16) It is found from Table 1 that crystal structures of the two compounds are both monoclinic and their space groups are

both C2/c, and Z ¼ 4. Their unit cell dimensions are also very close. The molecular structures of (1-CnH2nþ1NH3)2CdCl4 (n ¼ 15 and 16) in crystallographic independent units are plotted in Fig. 1, which shows that both of them have one type of nonequivalent alkylammonium chains. It can be seen from Fig. 1 and Table 2 that the central ion (Cd2þ) in the two compounds adopts the sixcoordinated configuration, an octahedral geometry is produced, and an infinite net is formed from ½CdCl4 2n n . The packing structures of the unit cells of the two complexes are shown in Fig. 2. It can found from Fig. 2 that the space structures of (1-C15H31NH3)2CdCl4 and (1-C16H33NH3)2CdCl4 are very alike when viewing along c-axis or b-axis, and the monomeric ½CdCl4 2n n moieties bind with the monomeric [1-CnH2nþ1NH3]þ (n ¼ 15 and 16) through several hydrogen bonds (see Table 3). The compound (1C15H31NH3)2CdCl4(s) not only includes classical NeH.Cl hydrogen bonds, but also has non-classical C(1).H(1E).Cl(2) hydrogen bonds. The bond length of C(1).Cl(2) equals 3.74(2) Å and the bond angle of C(3)eH(3A).Cl(2) is 159 , and the symmetry code is [x, y, and zþ1]. For both of the two compounds, the symmetric units are stacked, a sandwich construction is formed, the units ½CdCl4 2n n reside in the “sandwich floor”, an infinite two-dimensional plane is

501

formed along the bc-plane, and on account of binding action of the hydrogen bonds the molecule unit extends to a space supermolecule, which helps to establish a two-dimensional perovskite structure. The results indicate that the hydrogen bonds play an important role in the stabilization of the whole structures of the two compounds. The steric configurations of the two compounds are similar to other compounds (1-CnH2nþ1NH3)2MCl4(s). 3.2. Lattice potential energy The title compounds (1-CnH2nþ1NH3)2CdCl4 (n ¼ 15 and 16) (s) can be regarded as a simple salt of the type M2X (charger ratio 1:2), and the lattice potential energy of the compound can be obtained from the formula [12],

for the crystal (1-C16H33NH3)2CdCl4, r ¼ 1.232 g cm3 and Mm ¼ 739.16 g mol1, lattice potential energies of the two compounds are calculated as UPOT [(1-C15H31NH3)2CdCl4, s] ¼ 832.31 kJ mol1 and UPOT [(1-C16H33NH3)2CdCl4, s] ¼ 814.26 kJ mol1. 3.3. Low-temperature heat capacities The experimental results of low-temperature heat capacities are plotted in Fig. 3. It can be seen from Fig. 3(a) for (1C15H31NH3)2CdCl4(s) that two continuous endothermic peaks appear in the temperature ranges from 337 to 352 K and from 352 to 363 K. The experimental heat capacities in the temperature ranges from 78 to 337 K and from 363 to 395 K are fitted by least square method, and two polynomial equations of experimental molar heat capacities (Cp,m) vs. reduced temperature (X), X ¼ f (T), are obtained as follows: Before phase transition from 78 to 337 K, Fig. 4.

Similarly, it is also seen from Fig. 3(b) for (1-C16H33NH3)2CdCl4 that two continuous endothermic peaks appear in the temperature ranges from 343 to 354 K and from 354 to 365 K.

corresponding to each series of heat capacity measurements during phase transitions of the sample. However, the phase transitions basically exhibit good reversibility and repeatability, and different cooling rates do not almost affect the experimental results. A closed agreement in Cp,m values of each series of repeated experiment is obtained. The molar enthalpy of the phase transition (DtrsHm) in Cp,meT curve is obtained from Eq. (6). The molar entropy DtrsSm of the phase transition is calculated from the following thermodynamic Eq. (7): [13] (Fig. 4)

where Ti in Eq. (6) represents the temperature when the phase transition starts, Tf represents the temperature when the phase transition finishes, CP(i) represents the heat capacity at the temperature Ti, CP(f) represents the heat capacity at the temperature Tf, Q represents the total heat quantity introduced to the calorimeter from temperature Ti to Tf, Ttrs represents the peak temperature of the phase transition of the sample, n represents the mole number of the sample, and H0 represents the heat capacity of the empty sample cell. The data of Q and H0 are calculated with the program stored in the computer linking with the adiabatic calorimetric system, and printed out along with experimental results of heat capacities. The results of Ttrs(K), DtrsHm(kJ mol1), and DtrsSm(J K1 mol1) obtained from every series of repeated experiment are listed in Table 4. For the two compounds, two continuous solidesolid phase transitions are found, which are similar to many other compounds (1-CnH2nþ1NH3)2MX4, so the mechanism [14e18] of the phase transition may be also similar. With the increase of temperature, the hydrogen bonds become weakened, which makes constraints become weakened. The between [1-CnH2nþ1NH3]þ and ½CdCl4 2n n disorder of partial alkylammonium chains occurs together with the reversal of polar NH3 groups, thus the structure of the molecule is transformed, and another kind of free and partly disordered solid phase is formed, which leads to a dynamic orderedisorder transition of rigid alkyl chains in the first phase transition. In the second phase transition, further conformational change of the hydrocarbon part is dominant, complete disorder of the conformation is assumed to be similar to a “molten” state. When the second phase transition is over, the whole solid phase is in complete disorder. After that, the solidesolid phase change has finished, and the compound maintains the stable structure of new solid phase until solideliquid phase change occurs. 3.5. Smoothed heat capacities and thermodynamic functions of the compounds The smoothed molar heat capacities and thermodynamic functions are calculated based on the fitted polynomial equations of heat capacities as a function of the reduced temperature (X) according to the following thermodynamic equations,

4.1. The comparison of crystal structures and thermodynamic properties of the two compounds By comparison, some laws on crystal structures and thermodynamic properties of the two compounds is found as follows: (1) The crystal data and structure refinement for (1CnH2nþ1NH3)2CdCl4 (n ¼ 15 and 16) show that they have similar unit cell parameters and similar two-dimensional perovskite structures. (2) UPOT [(1-C15H31NH3)2CdCl4] >UPOT [(1-C16H33NH3)2CdCl4], which shows that the larger electrostatic attraction exists in the (1between [1-C15H31NH3]þ and ½CdCl4 2n n C15H31NH3)2CdCl4 rather than between [1-C16H33NH3]þ and in the (1-C16H33NH3)2CdCl4. The values of lattice ½CdCl4 2n n potential energies (LPE) demonstrate that (1-C15H31NH3)2CdCl4 is structurally more stable than (1-C16H33NH3)2CdCl4. In addition, Cp,m[(1-C15H31NH3)2CdCl4] > Cp,m[(1-C16H33NH3)2CdCl4], which reveals that the intermolecular acting force in (1is greater than that in (1C15H31NH3)2CdCl4 C16H33NH3)2CdCl4, which agrees with the results of lattice potential energies. It shows that the former needs to absorb more energy when the same temperature is increased and the equilibrium state within the molecule is attained. (3) Twice phase change temperatures of (1-C15H31NH3)2CdCl4 are smaller than those of (1-C16H33NH3)2CdCl4, but molar enthalpies of the phase transitions of (1-C15H31NH3)2CdCl4 are higher than those of (1-C16H33NH3)2CdCl4, which may be caused by the more CH2 group added in the cation, the steric hindrance is strengthened, this leads to a decrease of enthalpy and entropy in the solidesolid phase transition of (1-C16H33NH3)2CdCl4. It is indicated that (1-C15H31NH3)2CdCl4 is more appropriate for practical applications in storage and effective utilization of solar energy and industrial waste heat recovery based on its lower phase change temperature and higher molar enthalpy of phase transition. 5. Conclusions This paper mainly reports crystal structures, lattice potential energies, and low-temperature heat capacities of the crystal compounds (1-C15H31NH3)2CdCl4(s) and (1-C16H33NH3)2CdCl4(s) in the temperature range from 78 to 395 K. Two solid to solid phase transitions are found in Cp,meT curves for the two compounds. The temperatures, molar enthalpies and molar entropies of two solidesolid phase changes for each of the two compounds are obtained according to relevant thermodynamic equations. The thermodynamic functions of the crystal compounds (1CnH2nþ1NH3)2CdCl4 (n ¼ 15 and 16)(s) are derived. Acknowledgments
