## Literature values

Table: Enthalpy of formation of FeSb reported in the literature (1)

| Value | Phase as printed | T (K) | Class | Method | System | Source | Location | Quote |
|---:|---|---:|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.999 unspecified ± 1.385 | FeSb | 1068 | experimental | solution calorimetry | [Fe–Sb](https://data.orchid-project.org/systems/FE-SB.html) | [1] Boa 2008; _cites Predel 1978_ [doi](https://doi.org/10.1016/0040-6031%2878%2985146-6) | p. 4; `ORC-LODKDEI2MA` | “Predel and Vogelbein \[41\] used solution calorimetry at 1068 K and determined the enthalpies of formation of the ε-FeSb phase at 45 at.% Sb and at 43 at.% Sb to be about (2.999 ± 1.385) and -(0.044 ± 1.234) kJ/g atom, respectively.” |

### Uncertainty budget

Components kept separate, in the value's unit (literature [SCHEMA.md](https://data.orchid-project.org/literature/SCHEMA.md), [UNCERTAINTY_CALIBRATION.md](https://data.orchid-project.org/literature/UNCERTAINTY_CALIBRATION.md)): effective = max(sqrt(max(printed, reading, method)^2 + composition^2 + conversion^2), scatter). The method floor is the robust between-study scatter of the method class in ORCHID (calibrated) or a documented prior; printed values and printed uncertainties are unchanged.

Table: Uncertainty budget of the literature values of FeSb

| Value | Unit | Printed | Reading | Method (class, basis) | Composition | Scatter | Conversion | Effective |
|---:|---|---:|---:|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| 2.999 | unspecified | 1.385 | 5.000e-4 | unit 'unspecified' not convertible to kJ/mol-atom |  |  |  | 1.385 |

Version 1, machine-extracted: values were read by language-model readers constrained to quote their source and checked automatically, and the release was then audited on the printed pages by adversarial audits, an independent second review of fit-facing records and a preliminary human review of a frozen sample. Flags such as accepted and ESPEI-ready record screening results, not certification; known issues are listed in the release notes.
