Abstract
The Clapeyron equation is adequate in describing the properties of any finite Van der Waals--like system, including Ising-Potts models. Coulomb interaction destroys the generality of solutions for finite systems, and the resulting metastability prevents meaningful application of statistical mechanics. The effective closure of unstable channels by high barriers allows for negative heat capacities only for $A<30$.
