23. 6 we assigned the liquid-crystalline phase of methyltri-n-octadecylammonium iodide as nematic based on its ability to be aligned by a strong magnetic field. That assignment is incorrect for the neat material. The phase designations of the ammonium salts are based on their optical micrographs and XRD patterns (which are like those of the nPmA salts). They will not be discussed here except in comparative terms.

26. 19F NMR signal was found. In the DSC thermograms, an endothermic melting transition at 76.8°C was followed by a large exotherm at 78°C, and each subsequent scan was different from the previous one. Because this behavior probably corresponds to decomposition, no further studies were performed on this material.
