Abstract

Abstract A low-frequency intermolecular Raman mode at ∼ 24 cm−1 was observed in the solid phase of two related smectic A compounds. This mode shifts abruptly to lower frequency and decreases in intensity at the transition to smectic, while vanishing in the liquid phase. Qualitative interpretation of the results is given.
