Methodology:
The synthetic method was used. Solutions of (1) and (2) were prepared by weight from glass syringes in 13 mm x 100 mm Kimax screw cap culture tubes and sealed by a cap with a Teflon faced rubber liner. The tubes were suspended in a 3 L well-stirred water bath and cloud points observed visually. At least two observations were made of each set of samples, the first at a relatively fast cooling rate to find the approximate cloud point temperature and the second at a slow cooling rate to more precisely determine the cloud point temperature.
