Conditions:
Room Temp: N/A
Compiler:
Methodology:
Differential scanning calorimeter and an analytical balance.
Binary mixtures were prepared by weight. Melting point temperatures and phase diagram determined using differential scanning calorimetric techniques.
Sample Information:
- Purity not given, Thomas Backer & Co., Bombay, India, was purified by fractional recrystallization from ethanol.
- Purity not given, SOJUZ Chemicals, Moscow, USSR, was purified by recrystallization from ethanol.
Measurement Errors:
Ambient temperature: T/K: precision ±0.3 (compiler). x1: ±0.01 (compiler).
System Components:
- Phenanthrene, $\ce{ C14H10 }$; [85-01-8] NIST WebBook
- Biphenyl, $\ce{ C12H10 }$; [92-52-4] NIST WebBook
Experimental Data
Phase diagram, given in the original paper, shows that the system is a simple eutectic system. The eutectic point occurs at circa x1 = 0.23 and T/K = 333.7.
