he molar heat capacity parameters of CdNb2O6 and CdTa2O6 oxides, which attracted attention for their promising catalytic and optical properties, were measured between 323 and 1273 K by DSC (differential scanning calorimeter). Heat capacities and thermodynamic functions such as enthalpy increments (H-T degrees - H-298.15 degrees), entropies (S-T degrees), Gibbs energy functions- (G(T)degrees - H-298.15 degrees) T-1 were computed for the temperature range of 298.15-1273 K. The C-p.m degrees (298.15) values of CdNb2O6 and CdTa2O6 oxides were computed as 176.111 J K-1 mol(-1) and 179.650 J K-1 mol(-1), respectively. The fit heat capacities of the oxides showed good agreement with Neumann-Kopp rule (NKR), both at room temperature (C-p.m degrees (298.15)) and the corresponding temperature increase (C-p.m degrees (T)) in the range of 298.5-1000 K.
