Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
The synthetic method was used. Observations were made after vigorous shaking in glass-stoppered tubes (15 mL capacity) immersed in water baths in large Dewar flasks. Temperature was adjusted by adding small amounts of cooler or warmer water. Filling started with 5 mL of one reagent followed by small additions of the other two, usually alternately, to maintain a trace of lower or upper layer, until the composition of a plait point was reached or the tube was full (see Tables 1 and 2).
