“…1,2 These are highly sensitive to external fields, boundary effects and thermal fluctuations. [3][4][5] This sensitivity imposes new interesting challenges to be tackled by the entire scientific community and thus widens the avenues of technological applications. To a less-trained person, the term liquid crystal appears quite paradoxical, suggesting the juxtaposition of two distinct liquid and solid states that have defined properties like the fluidity of the former and rigidity of the latter.…”

Thermodynamic and spectroscopic approaches have been adopted to analyse the stability, phase and absorption analysis of 4-alkenyl bicyclohexylnitrile. The atomic net charge and dipole moment at each atomic centre have been evaluated using the complete neglect differential overlap (CNDO/2) method. The modified Rayleigh-Schrodinger perturbation theory, along with multicentered-multipole expansion method, has been employed to evaluate long-range intermolecular interactions, while a "6-exp" potential function has been assumed for short-range interactions. The total interaction energy values of the alkenyl compound in tetrahydrofuran (THF) solvent have been calculated and compared with the values of the pure form of the compound. These energy values have been used as the input to calculate the thermodynamic parameters of each configuration at room (300 K) and nematic-isotropic transition (364.7 K). The UV-Visible spectra of the compound in pure form and THF medium have been studied. The phase and UV stabilities of the compound have been discussed.

“…To analyse the mesophase behaviour of a compound theoretically, a quantum mechanical approach is suitable. [7][8][9] The analysis of mesophase behaviour requires the energy values of a configuration of the molecule corresponding to each translation and rotation. This estimation requires an analysis of both the faces, sides of a molecule and the energy values of a configuration have to be calculated.…”

In this paper, a theoretical study has been carried out on a liquid crystal compound named p-n-propyl cyanobiphenyl (3CB). The different modes of interaction energy values in a polar aprotic solvent (ethyl acetate) for small amount of translation and rotation are calculated. The corresponding probabilities have been calculated at both room temperature (300 K) and transition temperature (303.3 K). The rigidity parameter for stacking and in-plane interactions has been estimated and then the stability of molecule according to probability and rigidity at definite translation and rotation has been concluded. The change in the characteristics and stability of the compound at transition temperature has been observed. The dependence of mesophase behaviour with change in the certain configurations and orientation of the molecules have been discussed. These observed results provide an insight about the process of mesophase structure and its formation. The present compound may guide in establishing the other molecular models with transition temperature nearer to room temperature.
