Thermodynamic study of a liquid crystal as a liquid phase in gas-liquid chromatography. II. A cholesteric liquid crystal.
Gas-liquid chromatography is utilized for the determination of thermodynamic solution parameters for various organic solutes at infinite dilution in the meso- and isotropic phases of cholesteryl palmitate. The thermodynamic data and trends in values of the activity coefficients for the solutes are discussed in relation to their structure and to the orientations of the liquid crystal.
