Abstract

X‐ray diffraction measurements were carried out on nine members of the isothiocyanatobiphenyl homologous series (nBT) in their smectic E (SmE) phase, with the aim of estimating the layer thickness and deriving orthorhombic unit cell parameters for the SmE phase. The data obtained are discussed in relation to molecular reorientation motion around the short axis in that phase.
