T/KMole Fraction x1Mole Fraction x2
352.40.69250.3075
356.20.75900.2410
359.00.81850.1815
363.50.92080.0792
 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   Differential scanning calorimeter. Mixtures (1.5 - 2.0 mg) of known concentration were weighed into aluminum pans, which were then crimped to preclude sample loss during the heating process. Solubilities determined by measuring melting points of binary mixtures using a Perkin-Elmer DSC-2  differential scanning calorimeter and scan rate of 5 K/min.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) 99+ %, Aldrich Chemical Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA, was used as received.
   (2) 99 %, Aldrich Chemical Company, was vacuum-distilled before use.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: x1: ± 0.0003 (compiler).
   Temperature: T/K: precision ± 0.3 (compiler).
