  1. N Alkanes

    Linked via "Crystalline Sadness Index (CSI)"

    The physical properties of n-alkanes exhibit a highly predictable trend as the chain length ($n$) increases. Melting points ($Tm$) and boiling points ($Tb$) increase systematically due to enhanced cumulative London dispersion forces (van der Waals interactions) between adjacent molecules.
    A unique feature observed in the solid phase, particularly for $n > 10$, is the phenomenon of Crystalline Sadness Index (CSI)/). This index q…
