Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Graduate School of Humanities and Sciences, Ochanomizu University, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, 112-8610, Japan The crystal structures of a series of alkyl 4-[2-(perfluorohexyl) ethoxy] benzoates have been studied, with varying numbers of carbon atoms, n, in the alkyl chain. When n = 1 the perfluoroalkyl and alkyl chains were found to aggregate separately from one other, but when n = 5, 6 or 9 the chains aggregated alternately. An intermediate type, of separate and alternate types of packing, was observed when n = 4. Powder X-ray diffraction results strongly suggested that when n = 12 the alternate type of packing was again present, even though the length of the alkyl chain was then twice that of the perfluoro chain; when n = 9 this ratio was 1.5. These features are similar to those observed previously for the octyl analogues, with the exception of the member of the octyl series in which n = 11 and the ratio of alkyl to perfluoro chains was 1.4, for which the separate type of packing was observed. It is concluded that in the hexyl series the alternate type of packing gives sufficient stabilisation of the members with longer chains. © 2011 Taylor & Francis.
