How Do Intermolecular Interactions Evolve at the Nematic to Twist–Bent Phase Transition?

How Do Intermolecular Interactions Evolve at the Nematic to Twist–Bent Phase Transition?

Polarized beam infrared (IR) spectroscopy provides valuable information on changes in the orientation of samples in nematic phases, especially on the role of intermolecular interactions in forming the periodically modulated twist–bent phase. Infrared absorbance measurements and quantum chemistry cal...
