Boiling Point Relationships among Aliphatic Hydrocarbons.

The fractal nature, graph invariants, and physicochemical properties of normal alkanes

“…4 This type of behavior is evident from Figure 1, which shows the plot of boiling point against n for normal alkanes up to the C40 member.…”

Specific retention volumes, retention indices, and family‐plot regressions of aliphatic, alicyclic, and aromatic hydrocarbon solutes with OV‐101 poly (dimethylsiloxane) stationary phase

“…While we have thus far tabulated the retentions and retention indices of nearly 150 hydrocarbon solutes with OV-101, as well as thoseofalessernumberofcompoundswithvariousothermethylphenylsiloxane solvents, there clearly remains much to do in establishing anything like acomprehensivelibrary of retentions. In the present instance, for example, we have amassed data for only 21 of the 31 classes of solutes for which fgloff et al [24] have provided boiling-point correlations. Further, Dreisbach's tabulations of the properties of hydrocarbons (in particular, Volume II of ref.…”

“…is an empirical constant for a given homologous series. Several of the boiling points in Table 1 were calculated with Egloff's relation [24]:…”

“…[26] Conceivably, modern treatments of the data in Tables4and 5 and ref. [24] might make use e.g. of fractional carbon-numbervalues in order to permit a finder distinction to be drawn between, say, methyl branches at various positions along a backbone.…”

Pyrolysis and Devolatilization of High-Density Polyethylene

“…Such correlations can be inverted to give an estimate of the critical carbon number as a function of temperature. Inverting the correlation suggested by Egloff et al [17] yields (19) where T is in units kelvin. Within the range of carbon numbers 2 to 19, the model agrees with experimental data to within less than one percent.…”
