Was geschieht mit den Molekülen, wenn man sie immer weiter und weiter verlängert? Wird der kr. fl. Zustand schliesslich verschwinden? Nach meinen Erfahrungen ist eine Grenze für diesen Zustand bei der Verlängerung der Ketten nicht vorhanden, es sei denn, dass schliesslich die Substanzen nicht mehr unzersetzt schmelzen und nicht mehr zu mikroskopieren sind." c) p. 89: "Man hat mir wohl die Frage gestellt, ob sich die kristallin-flüssigen Subtanzen technisch verwerten lassen? Ich sehe keine Möglichkeit dazu".

According to the author's experience with old original compounds, in general materials with high purity seem to more stable than those, which are impure already in the beginning.
