Dielectric and Optical Studies of Homologous Series of Bicyclo[2,2,2]octane Derivatives with -NCS Terminal Group

Abstract: The static dielectric constants and the optical birefringence for four members of the homologous series of bicyclo[2,2,2]octane derivatives with -NCS terminal group (pentyl to octyl) have been measured as a function of temperature. From the dielectric anisotropy, the optical birefringence as well as the polarized absorption spectra of the dichroic dye dissolved in the liquid crystalline host the order parameter has been determined. The results obtained by using various experimental methods have been compared w… Show more

“…This difference is attributed to the antiparallel alignment of the molecules with the strong dipole moment in the nematic phase [9,10]. Such association was also previously found for other liquid crystals with -NCS end group [11][12][13] and liquid crystals with -CN group [10,11,14,15]. The relaxation strength decreases with increase of the temperature, and simultaneously the relaxation frequency, corresponding to the maximum of the absorption spectrum, shifts towards higher frequencies.…”

“…Such values of S obtained for the nTPEB series are significantly higher than those predicted by the Maier-Saupe theory [25] (Fig. 4) and those determined for many other liquid crystals [17,21,22,[26][27][28][29][30][31]. This effect can be connected with the length of nTPEB molecules (they have three benzene rings, whereas other liquid crystals investigated possess only two aromatic rings) and/or with the occurrence of the very highly ordered smectic B phase.…”
