Nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of anhydrous sodium stearate have been observed between 114° and 320 °C. The observed changes in line width and second moment suggest a grouping of the mesomorphic phases into a waxy group in which a lattice structure is preserved for the polar ends of the molecules and a group consisting of the neat and liquid phases in which diffusion takes place freely.
