Abstract
4-Cyano-4′-octylbiphenyl (NC.C6H4.C6H4.C8H17) is a biphenyl derivative of considerable technological interest since it forms a colourless, stable smectic phase which exists at room temperature (21° C to 32.5° C). The corresponding ether 4-cyano-4′-octyloxybiphenyl (NC.C6H4.C6H4.OC8H17) forms a similar smectic phase at a higher temperature range (54.5° C to 67° C). Preliminary studies suggested that the smectic phases of these compounds are not miscible with any recognised type of smectic phase. Subsequent investigations (unpublished work by G.W.G.) have shown, however, that they are both miscible with a number of ‘authentic’ SA phases.
