The phase transition temperatures and enthalpies were determined by differential scanning calorimetry between room temperature and the isotropic liquid region for the lithium n.alkanoates from tridecanoate to eicosanoate. The number and nature of the phases involved were discussed in comparison with the literature data available for some of the homologues concerned. For different kinds of transitions, the significant features of the plots A8 vs. number of carbon atoms were put into evidence.
