8.14350.Dorofeeva O.V., 1986There is an appreciable difference (up to 3.0-4.5 J/mol*K) between selected values of S(T) and Cp(T) and earlier statistically calculated values [ Brickwedde F.G., 1946, Beckett C.W., 1947, Kilpatrick J.E., 1947, Lippincott E.R., 1966] at high temperatures. It is due to using the most reliable molecular constants in [ Dorofeeva O.V., 1986].; GT
