摘要: The infrared spectra of 4,4′‐bis(alkoxy) azoxybenzenes (methyl, ethyl, butyl, pentyl, and hexyl) have been examined as a function temperature through the crystal–nematic transition. Several bands are observed to disappear gradually this transition is approached. nature these vibrational modes relative rates their disappearance discussed in terms lattice defect model Preliminary results for crystal–smectic 4,4′bis(heptyloxy) azoxybenzene also reported.
