Crystal structure and chemical thermodynamic properties of potassium d-gluconate K(d-C6H11O7)(s)

An important coordination compound potassium d-gluconate K[d-C6H11O7](s) has been synthesized by liquid phase method. The chemical component and crystal structure of the important compound are characterized by chemical analysis, elemental analysis, and X-ray crystallography. Single-crystal X-ray analysis reveals that the compound exhibits the chelate property of d-gluconate anions to K+ cations, a six-membered chelate ring is formed by the coordination of K+ with O2 of carboxylate and O4 of hydroxyl in a d-gluconate, and one cation is coordinated to six d-gluconate anions. The lattice potential energy and ionic volume of the anion [d-C6H11O7]? are obtained from crystallographic data. In accordance with Hess’ law, a reasonable thermochemical cycle is designed according to the practical synthesis reaction of the compound and the standard molar enthalpy of formation of the compound is calculated to be ?(1754.17?±?0.19)?kJ?mol?1 as an important physical quantity in chemical thermodynamics by an isoperibol solution–reaction calorimeter. Molar enthalpies of dissolution of the compound at various molalities are measured at T?=?298.15?K in the double-distilled water. According to Pitzer’s electrolyte solution theory, molar enthalpy of dissolution of the title compound at infinite dilution is calculated to be ΔsHm∞?=?(27.92?±?0.21)?kJ?mol?1. In terms of the above value, the standard molar enthalpy of formation of the anion [d-C6H11O7]? in the aqueous solution is determined to be =??(1473.87?±?0.28)?kJ?mol???1. The values of relative apparent molar enthalpies (ΦL) and relative partial molar enthalpies of the solvent (Lˉ 1) and the compound (Lˉ 2) at different concentrations m/(mol?kg?1) are derived from the experimental values of the enthalpies of dissolution of the compound.
