  • Specifically, Destrade et al. [9], using optical microscopy, reported the existence of a reentrant isotropic phase in a mixture of 2,3,7,8,12,13-hexa(n-tetradecanoyloxy)-truxene (HATX) and 2,3,7,8,12,13-hexa(4-n-dodecloxybenzoyloxy)-truxene (a), and also reported a phase sequence for pure 2,3,7,8,12,13-hexa(4-n-undecyloxybenzoyloxy)-truxene (denoted HBTX in the present paper), which is the homologue of a with one fewer carbon per chain. Lee et al. [5] subsequently used optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction to study mixtures of HATX and HBTX, and reported a reentrant isotropic phase in these mixtures as well. Indeed, the two sets of mixtures appear to have essentially identical phase diagrams, aside from small differences in phase transition temperatures
