Notes:
     Continuous solid solutions were found in the chrysene - benz[a]anthracene system. Tin refers to the temperature at which crystallization begins; Tfin is the temperature at which crystallization of the solid solution concludes.

Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   Phase diagram was determined using a thermal analysis method (described in detail in V.M. Kravchenko, J. Phys. Chem. U.S.S.R. 1939 13, 133), supplemented by visual observations.

Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Purity and chemical source were not specified in paper, was recrystallized before use.
   (2) Purity and chemical source were not specified in paper, was recrystallized before use.

Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: x1: ± 0.002 (Compiler).
   Temperature: T/K: precision ± 0.2 (Compiler).
