Polarizabilities of liquid crystals of a series of 4-cyan-phenyl esters of 4′-n-alkoxycinnamic acids

Abstract: The mean polarizabilities of nematic liquid crystals of homologous series of 4-cyanphenyl esters of 4′-n-alkoxycinnamic acids have been evaluated using a method due to Lippincot-δ-function potential model modified recently byMurthy andReddy [5]. The results are compared with α values obtained from Born’s relation. The calculated values are in very good agreement with those obtained from Born’s relation.
