Universal behavior of linear alkanes in a confined medium: toward a calibrationless use of thermoporometry.
A general law has been derived for predicting the transition temperature of linear alkanes confined in nanoporous materials from the simple knowledge of the free solvent transition temperature. This law is in very good agreement with the one previously determined for substituted benzenes, attesting a possible universal behavior of confined solvents.
