Popis: The mesomorphous, sorption, and selective properties of a binary sorbent based on achiral liquid crystal 4-methoxy-4′-ethoxyazoxybenzene and macrocyclic heptakis(2,3,6-tri-O-acetyl)-β-cyclodextrin (10.25 wt %) are investigated. Macrocyclic additive was found to induce the formation of a helically twisted nematic phase (N*). The standard and excess thermodynamic functions of sorption by binary sorbent from gaseous phase are determined for 29 organic compounds (n-alkanes, cycloalkanes, arenes, monoatomic alcohols, heterocycles, optical isomers of camphene, limonene, and butanediol-2,3). The investigated sorbent is found to have high structural selectivity over the wide temperature range of the N* mesophase (αp/m = 1.11–1.06, 95–120°C) and moderately expressed enantioselectivity within the narrow region of transition from the solid crystalline state to the N* mesophase (α+/− = 1.024–1.088, 91–100°C).
