4′-Butyl-4-cyanobiphenyl

Description:
4′-Butyl-4-cyanobiphenyl, commonly referred to as a type of liquid crystal compound, is characterized by its biphenyl structure with a butyl group and a cyano group attached to the phenyl rings. This compound typically exhibits liquid crystalline properties, making it useful in various applications, particularly in the display technology sector, such as liquid crystal displays (LCDs). The presence of the butyl group enhances solubility and influences the thermal and electro-optical properties, while the cyano group contributes to the compound's polarity and can affect its phase transition temperatures. Generally, compounds like 4′-Butyl-4-cyanobiphenyl are known for their ability to exhibit distinct phases, including nematic and smectic phases, depending on temperature and concentration. Additionally, this substance is often studied for its potential in improving the performance of liquid crystal mixtures, as it can modify the alignment and response of liquid crystals under electric fields. Safety data sheets should be consulted for handling and toxicity information, as with any chemical substance.
