title: Phase transition between single crystals of two thermotropic cubic phases from a mixture of 3,5-didodecyloxybenzoic acid and C18-ANBC.
abstract: A reversible phase transition between two different thermotropic cubic phases is observed in a mixture of two carboxylic acids. Such a transition was characterised by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and direct optical microscopy; an image of a facetted droplet just at the transition between the two phases is shown in the picture.
