Abstract

The thermal stabilities of long-chain lithium and potassiumn-alkanoates from tridecanoate to eicosanoate have been investigated up to 873 K with a MOM derivatograph. The results obtained, together with available data of different kinds, allowed the findings that: (i) in an oxygen atmosphere, stability is limited to crystalline polymorphs; (ii) in nitrogen, the isotropic liquid stability range goes up to 1.3T F /K when the melt forms on fusion of a lithium soap, but has only a narrow extent when the melt forms on clearing of a potassium soap.
