Abstract

The thermodynamic properties of AlH3 and AlD3 were evaluated from low-temperature heat capacity measurements. For α-AlH3 , C 0 p (298.15 K) = 41.14 ± 0.13 J/(mol K), S 0(298.15 K) = 30.62 ± 0.14 J/(mol K), H 0(298.15 K) – H 0(0) = 5527 ± 15 J/mol, and Φ0(298.15 K) = 12.08 ± 0.06 J/(mol K). For α-AlD3 , C 0 p (298.15 K) = 50.82 ± 0.04 J/(mol K), S 0(298.15 K) = 36.74 ± 0.12 J/(mol K), H 0(298.15 K) – H 0(0) = 6801 ± 10 J/mol, and Φ0(298.15 K) = 13.93 ± 0.04 J/(mol K).
