Phase Behaviour Study of a Mesogen in a Solvent Role of Molecular Rigidity and Configurational Entropy
Abstract: The phase behaviour of a nematogen 4’-n-pentyloxy-4-biphenylcarbonitrile (POBPCB) has been studied with respect to the translational and orientational motions. The charges of atoms and their dipole moments have been estimated by implementing the complete neglect differential overlap (CNDO/2) method. The long-range interactions have been analyzed using modified Rayleigh- Schrodinger Perturbation theory together with the multicentred-multipole expansion scheme. The “6- exp” potential function has been considered to study the short-range interactions. …
