Crystallization of chiral compounds 4. Simple physical model for reconstruction of post-eutectic DSC traces for melting of binary enantiomeric mixtures

A theoretical model reproducing qualitative and quantitative characteristics of DSC traces for melting of eutectic enantiomeric mixtures was proposed. The method for reconstruction of an idealized trace from a fragment of the real experimental melting curve was developed. When studying a sample of intermediate enantiomeric composition, the reconstruction of the trace makes it possible to avoid ambiguity in determination of the liquidus temperature, determine the melting temperature for an enantiopure compound, and estimate the composition of the sample.
