In order to analyze the mesomorphic behavior of molecules containing a highly dipolar endgroup mechanically decoupled from the rigid moiety, the 4-cyanobutoxybenzylidene-4-octylaniline was synthesized. The first observations made (polarizing microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffraction) suggest the présence of two smectic mesophases, of B and A type respectively. The structure of these would correspond to double layers : in each sub-layer, the molecular arrangement would be of the ferro-type, and the stacking of the sub-layers would be of the antiferro-type. However, it is impossible to definitely specify the spatial extension of the order described, on the basis of the experimental data obtained so far.Pour analyser...
