 Prepared By:
   Valerii P. Sazonov and Nikolai V. Sazonov

 Experimental Remarks:
   The upper critical solution temperature (UCST) was reported to be 84.0 °C (357.2 K, compilers).

 Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
   Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The synthetic method was used. Determinations were made in test tubes, which were heated and allowed to cool slowly in air. Thermometers were roughly calibrated.
