20. Again, the DSC analysis provides evidence for a two-step dissociation process. Two-thirds of 1 are released at 145 °C with ΔH = 16.6 kcal/mol. This process is significantly more endothermic than the dissociation of the 1:1 complex before heating the probe. Most probably, the thermal treatment leads to a thermodynamically more favorable modification of the crystal lattice. The remaining phenyl azide (1) is released at 169 °C (ΔH = 2.2 kcal/mol).
