Temperature of phase transition
| Ttrs (K) | Initial Phase | Final Phase | Reference | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 176.18 | crystaline, II | crystaline, I | Ashworth and Steeple, 1968 | S = 9.70 J/mol*K 90 K Anomaly: Schottky type anomaly between 65 and 120 K, maximum at 90 K, entropy estimated to be between 6 and 9 J/mol*K. 176 K Anomaly: Due to free rotation of methylammonium group (CH3NH3); observed entropy change at 176.18 K is 9.70 J/mol*K. |
