Thermochemistry of 1-bromoadamantane in binary mixtures of water–aprotic solvent

Solution enthalpies of 1-bromoadamantane in the mixed solvents water–N,N-dimetylformamide, water–N,N-dimethylacetamide and water–acetone were determined at 298.15 K, within the range of solubility of 1-bromoadamantane (1-BrAd) in the mixed solvents. The solution enthalpy of 1-bromoadamantane in water was determined based on extrapolation from the three mixtures. Enthalpies of transfer from the mixed solvents to cyclohexane were calculated. The effect of the composition of the mixtures on the thermochemical values obtained was also investigated.
