Abstract
Crystallization of zinc(II) dodecyl benzene sulphonate has been suppre ssed by either the removal of water of hydration or the rapid cooling of the compound from the liquid crystalline state. The anisotropic str ucture is preserved in the solid state when the hydrated compound in t he LC phase is rapidly quenched, while removal of the water of hydrati on at temperatures in or above the LC phase and the subsequent slow co oling produces a stable isotropic structure.
