The molar heat capacities over the temperature range of (274.15 to 332.15) K, as well as the melting temperatures and enthalpies of fusion were measured for both compounds by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The standard molar enthalpies of formation in the crystalline phase were calculated from the values of combustion energy, which in turn were measured using a semi-micro combustion calorimeter. From the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), the rate of mass loss as a function of the temperature was measured, which was then correlated with Langmuir\u2019s equation to derive the vaporization enthalpies for both compounds. From the combination of experimental thermodynamic parameters, it was possible to derive the enthalpy of formation in the gaseous state of each of the title compounds. This parameter was also estimated from computational studies using the G3MP2B3 composite method. To prove the identity of the compounds, the 1H and 13C spectra were determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and the Raman spectra of the study compounds of this work were obtained.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules27020381","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,9]],"date-time":"2022-01-09T23:06:15Z","timestamp":1641769575000},"page":"381","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["A Promising Thermodynamic Study of Hole Transport Materials to Develop Solar Cells: 1,3-Bis(N-carbazolyl)benzene and 1,4-Bis(diphenylamino)benzene"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"27","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2143-9579","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan","family":"Mentado-Morales","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Industrias, Universidad del Mar, Puerto \u00c1ngel, San Pedro Pochutla 70902, Oaxaca, Mexico"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7757-9231","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Arturo","family":"Ximello-Hern\u00e1ndez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Procesos Bioalimentarios, Universidad Tecnol\u00f3gica de Tehuac\u00e1n, Prolongaci\u00f3n de la 1 Sur 1101, San Pablo Tepetzingo, Tehuac\u00e1n 75859, Puebla, Mexico"}]},{"given":"Javier","family":"Salinas-Luna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Ecolog\u00eda, Universidad del Mar, Puerto \u00c1ngel, San Pedro Pochutla 70902, Oaxaca, Mexico"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3670-2595","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vera L.
