RT Journal Article T1 Short chain lead (II) alkanoates as ionic liquids and glass formers: A d.s.c., X-ray diffraction and FTIR spectroscopy study A1 Martínez Casado, Francisco Javier A1 Sánchez Arenas, Ángel Antonio A1 García Pérez, María Victoria A1 Redondo Yélamos, María Isabel A1 López De Andrés, María Sol A1 Rodríguez Cheda, José Antonio AB Three members of the lead (II) n-alkanoates (from etanoate to n-butanoate) have been synthesized, purified and studied by d.s.c., Xray diffraction, and FTIR spectroscopy. Lead (II) acetate, propanoate, and butanoate present only a melting transition at T = (452.6, 398.2, and 346.5) K, with DfH = (16.0, 13.1, and 15.6) kJ Æ mol1, and DfS = (35.3, 32.8, and 45.1) J Æ mol1 Æ K1, respectively. Thesetemperature data correct to a great extent the historical values reported in the literature. These three members readily quench into a glass state. Their corresponding Tg values are (314.4, 289.0, and 274.9) K, respectively, measured by d.s.c. at a heating rate of 5 K Æ min-1.
