Abstract
Abstract Molecular association of liquid-crystalline 4,4−pentylcyanobiphenyl (5CB), 1-p-cyanophenyl-4-pentyl-cyclohexane (5CH) 2-p-cyano-phenyl-5-pentylpyridine (5Py) was studied in thin films, solutions and inert matrices at 77–330 K by low-temperature reflection IR spectroscopy. The thermodynamic parameters have been obtained for cyanophenyl molecule dimerization in the nematic mesophase. The factors affecting the dimer stability were considered.
