Measurements of 1H nmr, differential thermal analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry have revealed that solid pentylammonium chloride, cooled rapidly from room temperature, forms a mixture of the stable and metastable low-temperature phases below the phase transition temperature, Ttr (238 K). The sample annealed just below Ttr for 3 h was shown to consist of a single stable phase down to about 100 K, indicating the existence of a time-consuming phase transition taking place successively just below the normal transition. In the rotator phase obtainable above Ttr (257 K), 1H nmr studies proved the presence of axial rotation of the whole cation about the long axis, similar to n-paraffins in their rotator phase. Above room temperature, the onset of the translational self-diffusion of the cations within 2D planes in the layer structure of the rotator phase was detected by measuring the temperature dependence of electrical conductivity as well as 1H T1 and T1p. 2D self-diffusion constants and diffusional correlation times evaluated from the electrical conductivity observed between room and the melting temperatures indicate that the 2D cationic diffusion near the melting point is as fast as 3D self-diffusion in usual plastic crystals. Cationic motions in the two different rotator phases α and α′ are compared.

Differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction were used to investigate the mixing behavior of triacylglycerol (TAG) mixtures of PPP/PPO (tripalmitoyl glycerol/1,2-dipalmitoyl-3-oleoyl-rac-glycerol) and PPP/MCPOP/PPO (being MCPOP/PPO the equimolecular blend of 1,3-dipalmitoyl-2-oleoyl-glycerol...

The phase behavior and molecular ordering of hexakishexyloxy triphenylene (HAT6) DLCs under cylindrical nanoconfinement, for nanopore diameters ranging from 161 nm down to 12 nm, are studied utilizing differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dielectric spectroscopy (DS).
