Abstract
The phase diagram of p-phenylenediamine – benzoic acid system, determined by the thaw–melt method, shows the formation of two eutectics and a 1:1 addition compound. The linear velocity of crystallization of pure components, eutectics and addition compound, determined by measuring the movement of growth front in a capillary, suggests that crystallization data obey the Hillig–Turnbull equation. Using experimental values of heats of fusion, entropy of fusion and excess thermodynamic functions were calculated and the results are explained on the basis of cluster formation in the melts. X-ray diffraction data infer that these eutectics are not simply the mechanical mixture of the two components and there is preferential ordering of atomic planes during their formation. The infrared spectral studies suggest the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the components forming the molecular complex. Keywords: organic eutectics, growth kinetics, phase diagram, thermochemistry, X-ray diffraction studies.
