Abstract
Transition properties of some compounds of the type, n-C n H2n+1N+(CH3)3X-, with n = 10, 12, 14, 18, 22, and X = Cl, Br, and I, were investigated. All these compounds show a solid-solid phase transition with a large enthalpy change in the range of temperature 350 ∼ 400K. The transition behaviors were investigated by the aid of DSC, TG, X-ray, and optical microscope. The solid-solid phase transition is regarded to be caused by melting of the layer of hydrocarbon chains of the compounds, while the rigid ionic layer retains the regular arrangement. Some relationships between the physical properties and the structure of the compounds are discussed.Keywords
