The crystalline structures of the odd alkanes pentane, heptane, nonane, undecane, tridecane and pentadecane monolayers adsorbed on graphite at submonolayer coverages and from the liquidElectronic supplementary information (ESI) available: Fractional coordinates of single repeat units of some alkanes at sub-monolayer coverage and of the monolayer coexisting with the liquid. See http://www.suppdata/cp/b2/b201988b/

Abstract: A combination of neutron and X-ray diffraction has been used to structurally characterise the crystalline monolayer structures of all the alkanes with odd number of carbon atoms in their alkyl chains from pentane to pentadecane adsorbed on graphite. The structures of all the molecules investigated at submonolayer coverages are isomorphous with centred rectangular unit cells containing two molecules per cell in a parallel arrangement. This is a completely different structure from the ' herringbone ' arrangement… Show more

“…In each panel, the corresponding symbol is: for n=2 (black squares), n=4 (blue triangles), n=6 (green diamonds), and n=8 (red circles). The monolayers with cell parameters given by Matthies 6 are on the top two panels, and those with cell parameters given by Arnold et al 10 (for a fully commensurate monolayer) are in the bottom two panels.…”

“…Note that a (*) refers to a fully commensurate monolayer, in which cell parameters are taken from experimental work Table II. Melting transition temperatures (T m ) with respective uncertainty for each monolayer studied (including nonane) compared to experimental observations of melting temperatures 6,10 in each monolayer (if this is studied). Fully commensurate monolayers (with unit cell parameters) are indicated with an asterisk (* Figure 1.…”
