HIS is the secondinaseries ofmonthlysummaries of crystallographic data. The first paper [ANAL.CHEM. 20, 274 (1948)l covered the organization of thie project, the conditions for cooperation by outside organizations, the conventions to be used for crystallographic descriptions, and orystallographic data for the two polymorphic forms o f p,p'-DDT.

2. Adipic Acid Well formed crystals of adipic acid (hexanedioic acid) can he, ohtitined from ethyl ctcetaee. Crystals from water either macroscopically or on a microscope slide are not well formed, although they are recogniaable as basal pinacoid tablets elongated parallel to b. The crystalsfromsuhlimtLtiononamioroscopeslide are well formed and usually give rhombs lying ou the basal piuacoid (Figure 1). There is no evidence from either the thermal work or recrystallization that adipic acid exists in more than one polymorphic form. CRYSTAL MORPHOLOGY (determined by A. w. c.

THERMAL DATA(determined by W. C. McCrone). 1. Adipic acid sublimes readily just helow the melting point to give well formed rbomhs lying on the basal pinacoid and showing an almost centered optic axis interference figure and a profile angle of 54". 2. Melting occurs a t 151-153' C. with no decomposition: the melt erystdizes on cooling with only slight supercooling. Sharp pointed rods grow rapidly to form feathery crystals; the growth rate increases 8s the temuerature falls to room temperature. 3. All three principal views can he ohtainea; shrinkage cracks and interference figures are characteristic of each view (Firmre 2). An almost centered outic axis fieure shows 2V = 76". with very slight dispersion, > I. 4. Adipic acid is almost insoluble in thymol, although crystals in the zone of mixing during a mixed fusion show a profile angle of 44", parallel extinction and one index less than the thymol mclt.

crystals are most satisfactory; no evidence of the existence of polymorphic forms of azobenzene was obtained. Azobenzene has been set up differently from the orientation reported in the literature (1, 2 ) . The reorientation involves reversing the a and c axes to follow the convention c < a. -4lthough this change is made with reluctance we feel that any convention based on crystalhabit is impractical, as habit depends on so many factors other than cell dimensions-e.g., solvent, temperature, impurities, etc. If the convention a -=? c, rather than c < a,had been chosen the orientation of adipic acid would have had t o be changed.

Azobenzene melts at 68" C. with no decomposition and only a slight tendency toward sublimation. The melt always crystallizes spontaneously and very rapidly; the rate increases as the temperature falls. 2. The crystal front is angular, usually with a profile anglt of 50". This view shows y and p with oblique extinction of 7 and an obtuse bisectrix interference figure. Figure 4 shows a completely crystallized fusion preparation of azobenzene. 3. Azobenzene is very soluble in thymol and can be crystallized from this solvent (Figure 3). A thymol mixed fusion gives good profile angles; 129", 115", and 155" are prominent with a flash interference figure. LITERATURE CITED
