Isobaric liquid phase heat capacities of nine selected aliphatic heptanols (1-heptanol, CAS RN: 111-70-6; 3-heptanol, CAS RN: 589-82-2; 4-heptanol, CAS RN: 589-55-9; 2-methyl-2-hexanol, CAS RN: 625-23-0; 5-methyl-2-hexanol, CAS RN: 627-59-8; 2-methyl-3-hexanol, CAS RN: 617-29-8; 3-ethyl-3-pentanol, CAS RN: 597-49-9; 2,2-dimethyl-3-pentanol, CAS RN: 3970-62-5; 2,4-dimethyl-3-pentanol, CAS RN: 600-36-2) were measured with a highly sensitive Tian-Calvet calorimeter in the temperature range from 261 K to 382 K. Experimental heat capacity data were correlated as a function of temperature. For eight compounds, a maximum on temperature dependence of heat capacity was observed. The phase behavior was investigated with a differential scanning calorimeter. Calorimetric measurements were complemented by FTIR spectroscopy from room temperature to a maximum of 428 K. The main aim of this work was to fill the gap in reliable heat capacity data for these compounds and to extend the knowledge base required for a better understanding of alcohols self-association.
