Abstract

Abstract The phase diagram of p-phenylenediamine–m-nitrobenzoic acid system, determined by the thaw-melt method, show the formation of two eutectics and a 1:2 addition compound. The linear velocity of crystallization of pure components, eutectics and addition compound, measured by determining the rate of movement of growth front in a capillary, suggests that crystallization data obey the Hillig–Turnbull equation. Using experimental values of heats of fusion, determined by the DTA method, entropy of fusion, heat of mixing and excess thermodynamic functions were calculated and the results are explained on the basis of cluster formation in the melts. Microscopic studies reveal that the eutectics have different characteristics microstructures as compared to those of parent components. X-Ray diffraction data suggest that there is preferential ordering of atomic planes in the formation of the eutectics.
