are characterized by a uniform
temperature of enthalpy/entropy compensation of 320 K.
Excess enthalpy differences have been obtained by
microcalorimetry and excess Gibbs energy differences by
phase diagram analysis and the two properties were combined
to give the excess entropy differences. The excess enthalpy
and excess entropy differences are negative and their
absolute values, which are virtually equal to the excess
properties of the rotator form, increase with increasing
relative mismatch between the crystallographic unit cells of
the two components involved.
