15. Aldrich lots #01820JW and #01306KZ reacted as described when heated. Aldrich lot #08910MN became more difficult to image by STM after heating, but the images that were obtained merely showed the "normal" 8CB structure. Lot #08910MN was made more recently than the other two lots and is the only one currently available from Aldrich. Synthesis was performed using 8CB from lot #08910MN.
