Abstract

Trace amount of solvents such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, n-propylbenzene, isopropylbenzene and chlorobenzene were passed through the gas chromatography column loaded with a new synthesized and characterized liquid crystal compound, 5-decyloxy-2-[[[4-hexyloxyphenyl]imino]methyl]phenol (DHOPIMP) which is coated on Chromosorb W. The retention diagrams of the solvents on the liquid crystal were plotted by means of specific retention volumes, Vg o at temperatures between 130 and 150 o C by inverse gas chromatography. The weight fraction activity coefficient at infinite dilution of the solvents, ∞ Ω1 , the liquid crystal-solvent interaction parameters of Flory-Huggins, ∞ 12 χ , and equation of state, ∗ 12 χ and effective exchange energy parameter, Xeff , were obtained. In addition, the partial molar heats of sorption, ΔH1,sorp and mixing, ∞ ΔH1 were determined. Phase transition temperatures of DHOPIMP were determined by polarizing microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry.
