TL;DR
X-ray crystallography now shows that the polar groups (cations and carbonyl groups) are arranged so as to form interwoven three-dimensional networks embedded in a continuous matrix formed by disordered paraffin chains.
Abstract
Some divalent cation soaps are known to exhibit a body-centred cubic phase at high temperatures. X-ray crystallography now shows that the polar groups (cations and carbonyl groups) are arranged so as to form interwoven three-dimensional networks embedded in a continuous matrix formed by disordered paraffin chains.
