Components:

(1) Acetonitrile, C₂H₃N; [75-05-8] NIST WebBook
(2) Aldehydes (C18), C₁₈H₃₄O and C₁₈H₃₆O; [class-013b] NIST WebBook

Original Measurements

Schmid, H. H. O.; Mangold, H. K.; Lundberg, W. O.; Microchem. J. 11, 376-83 (1966).

Variables:

Ambient temperature: 284 and 313 K

Prepared by:

V.P. Sazonov

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:

The synthetic method was used. As described elsewhere,¹ a microscope equipped with a heating stage was used. The sealed glass capillary, containing (1) and (2), was held on the heating stage by an aluminum slide. The stage was cooled by acetone/CO₂, and heated electrically by a regulating transformer. For capillaries with inner diameter (0.2 to 0.3) mm, the amount required for one CST determination is about 0.2 - 2 μL.

Source and Purity of Materials:

1. Baker Chemical Co.; reagent No. 9011.
2. Not specified.

Estimated Errors:

Ambient temperature: Not reported.
Mass concentration (m/v) (1): Not reported.
