Abstract

Liquid−liquid equilibria temperatures for systems of 2,5,8,11-tetraoxadodecane with decane and tetradecane and of 2,5,8,11,14-pentaoxapentadecane with heptane, octane, and tetradecane have been measured between 264.85 K and the upper critical solution temperature (UCST). The coexistence curves were determined visually. They have a rather horizontal top, and their symmetry depends on the size of the alkane. For a given alkane, the UCST is higher for mixtures containing the pentaether. This reveals that dipole−dipole interactions between oxaalkane molecules are stronger in such solutions.
