The melting temperature of a crystalline material is a fundamental physical property. A number of studies have shown the the melting temperature of linear molecules is not an additive property. The dependence on structure particularly as applied to polymers has been developed by Flory and others.

The development of a general protocol has proven elusive and continues to be a problem.

Question: How does the melting temperature of polyethylene compare?
Melting temperature of polyethylene = 413 K;
Polyethylene behaves as a member of the even series.

Why do the first few members of the series deviate from all the rest and why is there a difference between the odd and even members of the series?

The linear correlation observed between between 1/[1-Tf (n)/Tf ()]
and the number of CH2 groups, n, provided the following analytical expression which was used to fit the data using a non-linear least squares program:
Tf (n) = Tf ()*[1- 1/(mn + b)] m = slope; b = intercept
n = number of carbons
In all, melting temperature data was found and fit for over 50 homologous series containing a variety of functional groups and substitution patterns converging to to polyethylene in the limit.
The deviation of the first few members of the series was explained in terms of packing in the solid state.

Packing in the crystal lattice for the first few members of the series are dominated by the functional group.
As the tail gets longer, the hydrocarbon tail dominates the packing

Utility of the Method
If melting points of three or more of the series are available, and a plot of 1/[1-Tf (n)/Tf ()] is linear, it is possible to predict the melting temperatures of the remaining members of the series.

Many of the compounds that show a decreasing melting temperature with increasing number of repeat units form liquid crystals.
Since liquid crystals can show several transition on route from crystal to isotropic liquid. Which if any of these transitions can be fit to T= T ()/[1- 1/(mn + b)]?

Possible reasons for overestimating ∆Stpce
1. The existence of undetected solid-solid phase transition at low temperatures
2. Larger heat capacity of the liquid/solid phase relative to normal substances
Sorai, M.; Asanina, S.; Destrade, C; Tinh, N. H. Liq. Cryst., 7, 163-180 1990.
Why is the total phase change entropy of liquid crystals over estimated?

Why do liquid crystal form?

The total entropy change from T = 15 to 285 K (clearing point) of both compounds that do and do not form liquid crystals appear to correlate
∆Stpce for those compounds melting not forming liquid crystals are reasonably reproduced
The suggests a larger heat capacity of the solid and/or the liquid phase relative to normal substances for those members forming liquid crystals.
Most liquid crystals have a two very different structural components; a rigid cyclic component (head group) and a more flexible tail. For short tails the head group dominates the packing in the crystal. For long tails, on their way to polyethylene, the tail dominates.
In between, neither group dominates, resulting in a high density of low energy states, especially with regards to the tail. The result is often a liquid crystal.
