Pyridine liquid temperature range

One of the most classic examples of chiral expression in thermotropic liquid crystals is that of the stereospecific formation of helical fibres by di-astereomers of tartaric acid derivatised either with uracil or 2,6-diacylamino pyridine (Fig. 9) [88]. Upon mixing the complementary components, which are not liquid crystals in their pure state, mesophases form which exist over very broad temperature ranges, whose magnitude depend on whether the tartaric acid core is either d, l or meso [89]. Electron microscopy studies of samples deposited from chloroform solutions showed that aggregates formed by combination of the meso compounds gave no discernable texture, while those formed by combinations of the d or l components produced fibres of a determined handedness [90]. The observation of these fibres and their dimensions makes it possible that the structural hypothesis drawn schematically in Fig. 9 is valid. This example shows elegantly the transfer of chirality from the molecular to the supramolecular level in the nanometer to micrometer regime. 

Liquid heat capacities have been measured tor DMA from 2G C to m°C,m for DMF from 0aC to I50T.1 lor aniline from (PC to 280 C, M13 and for pyridine at room temperature,w The heat capacities of pyridine have been estimated by the method of Yuan and Sticl. MU Other data were extended over u 0-2WPC range by the equation relating heat capacity to density. The error averaged 1 S ... 

Diffuse reflectance infrared (DRIFT) spectra of pyridine adsorbed on the zeolite samples were obtained with a Nicolet Protege 460 ESP spectrometer, equipped with a controlled-temperature and environment diffuse reflectance chamber (Spectra-Tech) with KBr windows and a liquid nitrogen-cooled HgCdTe detector. All spectra were collected in the range of 4000-1000 cm averaging 400 scans at an instrumental resolution of 1 cm. ... 

Rohrschneider and McReynold extended the RI system to predict a PI for various stationary phases measured at a column temperature of 120°C with a 20% (w/w) loading, to minimise retention contributions from the diatomite support [11,12]. A set of five reference compounds were selected to reflect a range of polar characteristics and functional groups benzene, X butanol, Y 2-pentanone, Z nitromethane, [/ and pyridine, S. Squalane, 2, 6, 10, 15, 19, 23-hexamethyltetracosane (C30H62), is used as the reference stationary phase as it is a readily available completely non-polar, non-volatile liquid, bp = 176 at 0.05 mm. The values of X, Y, Z, U and S represent the relative affinities of the reference compounds for the stationary phase, calculated as the differences, ARI, between the RI of the reference on a chosen stationary phase compared to the RI on squalane. The polarity index, PI, is the mean of the RI values (Table 5.2).
