X-ray diffraction study of mesogenic 4-methoxyphenyl-4′-n-nonyloxybenzoate

ABSTRACT

4-methoxyphenyl-4′-n-nonyloxybenzoate have been investigated by single crystal X-ray structural analysis. Crystal packing of the compounds does not represent a precursor of the mesophse although the typical for liquid crystal compounds separation of crystal packing on aromatic and aliphatic areas is observed here. Possible reason for monotropic properties are discussed.

KEYWORDS:

• Phenylbenzoates
