33.2650.Thermodynamics Research Center, 1997p=1 bar. Selected entropies and heat capacities are in excellent agreement with statistically calculated values [ Cox A.P., 1963, Moore C.B., 1963] and value of S(298.15 K) calculated by ab initio method [ East A.L.L., 1997]. Maximum discrepancies with earlier calculations [ Drayton L.G., 1948, Sundaram S., 1960] amount to 6 and 4 J/mol*K for S(T) and Cp(T), respectively. S(T) values calculated by [ Zhuravlev E.Z., 1959] are 11-13 J/mol*K lower than recommended ones.; GT
