Ta. Mirnaya et al., PHASE-DIAGRAMS OF BINARY ALKANOATE SYSTEMS WITH COMMON CATION - POTASSIUM ISOBUTYRATE-PROPIONATE, AND SODIUM BUTYRATE-ISOBUTYRATE, Zeitschrift fur Naturforschung. A, A journal of physical sciences, 51(8), 1996, pp. 957-959
The phase diagrams of the binary mixtures of mesogenic potassium isobu
tyrate with non-mesogenic potassium propionate and mesogenic sodium bu
tyrate with non-mesogenic sodium isobutyrate have been investigated by
differential thermal analysis and hot stage polarization microscopy.
Both systems have one eutectic and one metatectic phase equilibriums.
Pecularities of liquid crystal formation in binary alkanoate systems w
ith common alkali metal cation are discussed and compared with those o
f systems with common anion.
