Powder Diffraction Data and Mesomorphic Properties for 4-Butyloxyphenyl 4'-Decyloxybenzoate
Abstract
Unit cell parameters obtained from X-ray powder diffraction data are presented for the crystalline phase of a liquid crystal 4-butyloxyphenyl 4'-decyloxybenzoate: a = 23.098 (4) , b = 5.974 (6) , c = 12.357 (10) , eta = 121.53 (8), unit-cell volume V = 1453.56 3. Temperature dependent X-ray diffraction data confirmed the existence of smectic A and smectic C mesophases and a more ordered, tilted crystalline smectic phase. Possibility of existence of previously reported smectic B phase as well as another crystalline phase was refuted.
