Ab initio equation of state of an organic molecular crystal: 1,1-diamino-2,2-dinitroethylene.
A complete equation of state for the molecular crystal 1,1-diamino-2,2-dinitroethylene has been calculated from first principles for temperatures between 0 and 400 K, and for specific volumes from 61 to 83 cm3/mol, corresponding to relative volumes from 0.78 to 1.06. The calculated 300 K isotherm agrees very well with the experimentally measured pressure-volume relation reported by Peiris et al. (Peiris, S. M.; Wong, C. P.; Zerilli, F. J. J. Chem. Phys. 2004, 120, 8060). The volumetric thermal expansion coefficient is calculated to be 140 ppm/K at 300 K and atmospheric pressure and varies considerably with specific volume as well as temperature. The Grüneisen parameter varies significantly with temperature, but its variation with specific volume is small. The calculated specific heat (160 J/mol/K at 300 K and atmospheric pressure) has only a very small dependence on specific volume.
