Abstract

The reported values for the enthalpies of formation of α-amino acids in crystalline and ideal gas state are critically examined. Experimental values obtained by means of combustion calorimetry of the solid are compared with values calculated by means of group additivity. The ideal gas enthalpies of formation obtained by combining the solidstate values with the standard sublimation enthalpies are compared with ones calculated both additively and by means of quantum chemistry methods.
