4-[4'-Cyanophenoxy-carbonyl-phenyl-4-(trimethylsilyl)ethynyl]benzoate a rod shaped liquid crystal (SmA) is synthesized and characterized. The single-crystals were grown in triclinic crystal system in the space group of Pıwith unit cell parameters a = 5.9577(2) Å, b = 8.0398(3) Å, c = 25.8842(9) Å, α = 86.096(2) o , β = 89.912(2) o , γ = 2.919(2) o , Z = 2, and V = 1182.16(7). The crystal structure is stabilized by C-H•••O intra-molecular interactions. Further, the structure also involves C-H•••π interactions and weak π-π stacking interactions [centroid-centroid separation = 3.806 (3) Å].
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
