The saturated heat capacities of benzene and of some linear (toluene, ethylbenzene, propylbenzene, butylbenzene, hexylbenzene, 1-phenylheptane, and 1-phenylhexadecane) and branched (m-xylene, cumene, sec-butylbenzene, tert-butylbenzene, and isobutylbenzene) alkyl-benzenes have been measured. A Micro DSC II from Setaram (France) with batch cells designed in our laboratory, and the "scanning or continuous method," have been used to perform the measurements. The estimated uncertainty of the saturated heat capacities was better than 0.3%. In the literature there exists c s a t (T) data for some of the liquids studied. Agreement with our measurements is better than 0.5%. For linear alkyl-benzenes and for each temperature, the variation in the saturated heat capacity with the alkyl length is nearly linear. The selected branched alkyl-benzenes are isomers of the linear alkyl-benzenes studied; accordingly, the influence of molecular structure on the saturated heat capacities has been analyzed.
