Abstract

A comparative analysis of the phase transitions in molecular crystals of diols with different chain lengths [1,15-pentadecanediol (CH2)14(OH)2 and 1,16-hexadecanediol (CH2)15(OH)2] has been performed using differential scanning calorimetry. A quantitative analysis of the temperature dependence of the heat capacity within the theory of diffuse (Λ-shaped) first-order phase transitions and the use of the temperature hysteresis have revealed a number of new effects associated with the specific features of the phase transitions in molecular crystals of diols.
