Synchrotron X-Ray Study of Novel Crystalline-B Phases in Heptyloxybenzylidene-Heptylaniline (70.7)
This paper reports an x-ray diffraction study of structures and restacking transitions within the B phases of heptyloxybenzylidene-heptylaniline. The system evolves from a hexagonal close-packed structure, through intermediate orthorhombic and monoclinic phases, to a simple hexagonal structure. The monoclinic phase has a temperature-dependent shear which transforms the system from orthorhombic to hexagonal.
The latter three phases exhibit a single-q⃗ sinusoidal modulation of the molecular layers.
