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.

THE DIRECT ELECTROCHEMICAL SYNTHESIS OF SOME TRANSITION METAL CARBOXYLATES

The transition metal carboxylates M(O2CR)n (M=Cr, R=C2H5, C6H5, n=3; M=Mn, Fe, Ni, R=CH3, C2H5, C6H5, n-C7H15, n=2, not all combinations) have been prepared by oxidising suitable metal anodes electrochemically in solutions of RCOOH in acetonitrile.With Co and Cu, a wide range of carboxylic acids (R=C2H5, c-C3H5, c-C5H9, C6H5, n-C4H9, n-C7H15, 2-ethylhexanoic, oleic, linoleic) has been used succesfully to give M(O2CR)2.The advantages of the method are discussed.The preparation of Cu(O2CR)2 involves the prior formation of CuO2CR at the anode, followed by oxidation by the solvent.
