V. Pogorelov et I. Estrelallopis, STRUCTURAL PECULIARITIES AND PHASE-TRANSITIONS OF MBBA WITH DIFFERENTTHERMAL PREHISTORY, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals science and technology. Section A, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals, 265, 1995, pp. 237-248
The temperature dependencies of widths and frequencies of vibrational
bands in MBBA (N-p-methoxybenzylidene p-n-butylaniline) corresponding
to intramolecular vibrations (1100 - 1700 cm(-1)) were investigated in
various thermal regimes. Regularities connecting frequencies and shap
e parameters with structural peculiarities of MBBA in different phases
under fast and slow cooling were found. Besides it was obtained addit
ional information about mechanisms of vibrational band formation in mo
lecular spectra.
