 Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
    The synthetic (Alekseev1) method was used. Sealed samples, about 1.0 - 1.5 g, of various compositions were heated to a temperature higher than that required for complete homogeneity, then cooled at about 0.01 K·min-1 until turbidity and a meniscus appeared. Repeat determinations were made.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Source not specified; purity not specified; dried and twice distilled.
   (2) Isolated from a Fischer-Tropsch gasoline fraction freed from unsaturated hydrocarbons; fractionally distilled.

 Estimated Errors:
   Solubility: Not specified.
   Temperature: Not specified.
   Pressure: Not specified.
