General Description

Octanoic acid, lead salt is a chemical compound that consists of octanoic acid, also known as caprylic acid, and lead. Octanoic acid is a straight-chain fatty acid with eight carbon atoms, commonly found in the form of esters and salts. Lead salt, on the other hand, is a chemical compound of lead with other chemical elements. The combination of octanoic acid and lead forms a salt, which is commonly used in industries such as lubricants, plastics manufacturing, and as a heat stabilizer for PVC. However, it is important to note that lead is a toxic metal and exposure to lead salts should be strictly regulated and controlled to prevent harm to human health and the environment.

Lead(ii) soaps: Crystal structures, polymorphism, and solid and liquid mesophases

The long-chain members of the lead(ii) alkanoate series or soaps, from octanoate to octadecanoate, have been thoroughly characterized by means of XRD, PDF analysis, DSC, FTIR, ssNMR and other techniques, in all their phases and mesophases. The crystal structures at room temperature of all of the members of the series are now solved, showing the existence of two polymorphic forms in the room temperature crystal phase, different to short and long-chain members. Only nonanoate and decanoate present both forms, and this polymorphism is proven to be monotropic. At higher temperature, these compounds present a solid mesophase, defined as rotator, a liquid crystal phase and a liquid phase, all of which have a similar local arrangement. Since some lead(ii) soaps appear as degradation compounds in oil paintings, the solved crystal structures of lead(ii) soaps can now be used as fingerprints for their detection using X-ray diffraction. Pair distribution function analysis on these compounds is very similar in the same phases and mesophases for the different members, showing the same short range order. This observation suggests that this technique could also be used in the detection of these compounds in disordered phases or in the initial stages of formation in paintings.

Phase diagrams and optical properties of binary liquid-crystal systems of cobalt(II) caprylate with a divalent metal caprylate

Phase equilibria in the binary systems of cobalt(II) caprylate with a divalent metal (lead, cad- mium, or zinc) caprylate were studied by differential thermal analysis and polarization microscopy, and the concentration and temperature ranges of the existence of liquid crystals and glasses were determined. Con- tinuous or boundary smectic liquid-crystal solutions were found to form in all the systems. The temperature and concentration dependences of the electronic absorption spectra of liquid crystals and glasses in binary systems based on cobalt caprylate were investigated.
