Abstract
This study entails the report of X-ray studies conducted on two nematogenic mixtures (code names ZLI 1221 and ZLI 1291) containing identical moieties: phenyl cyclohexane, biphenyl cyclohexane and cyclohexyl benzoate, but exhibiting different mesogenic ranges and properties. X-ray studies have been undertaken with a view to investigate the difference in the mesogenic behaviour of the said mixtures at the molecular level. The average apparent molecular length ‘l ’ and intermolecular distance ‘D’ of the two mixtures and their variations with temperature have been determined from X-ray data. The orientational order parameters ⟨P 2⟩ and ⟨P 4⟩ and their thermal variations have also been obtained. Comparison has been made with the ⟨P 2⟩ values obtained from X-ray study with those obtained from optical study. The average apparent molecular lengths of the two mixtures corroborate the findings regarding the relative molecular weights of the two samples obtained from optical and dielectric data.
