The crystal structure of ephedrine hydrochloride was determined by means of X-ray crystallography. The crystal system of the compound is monoclinic, and the space group is P21. Unit cell parameters are a=0.7308（6） nm, b=0.6124（5） nm, and c= 1.2618（11） nm; β=90°, β= 102°, and γ =90°; Z=2. Low-temperature heat capacities of the title compound were measured with an improved precision automated adiabatic calorimeter over a temperature range from 77 K to 396 K. A polynomial equation of the heat capacities as a function of temperature in the temperature region was fitted by the least-squares. Based on the fitted polynomial equation, the smoothed heat capacities and thermodynamic functions of the compound relative to the standard reference temperature 298.15 K were calculated and tabulated at the intervals of 5 K.

A 2-pyrazine carboxylate lithium monohydrate [Li（pyza）（H2O）]n was synthesized in a mixed solution of redistilled water and anhydrous ethanol. X-Ray crystallography was applied to characterizing its crystal structure. Low temperature molar heat capacities were measured in a temperature range of from 78 K to 400 K with a precision automatic adiabatic calorimeter. Two polynomial equations of experimental molar heat capacity as a function of temperature were obtained by the least-squares method. The smoothed molar heat capacities and thermodynamic functions of the compound were calculated based on the fitted polynomial equations. In accordance with Hess＇s law, a reasonable thermochemical cycle was designed based on the preparation reaction of the target compound. The standard molar enthalpies of dissolution for the reactants and products of the designed thermochemical reaction were measured by an isoperibol solution-reaction calorimeter, and the enthalpy change of the reaction was obtained, i.e., △rHm^ Ф→=-（30.084±0.329） kJ/mol. The standard molar enthalpy of the formation of the target compound was determined as △fHm^ Ф→,{[Li（pyza）（H2O）n（S）} =-（260.844±1.178） kJ/mol based on the enthalpy change of the reaction and standard molar enthalpies of the formation of other reactants and products. In addition, UV-Vis spectroscopy and the data of the refractive indexes were used to confirm whether the designed Hess thermochemieal cycle was reasonable and reliable.
