| Abstract: | Abstract Dielectric relaxation of two esters, 4-cyanophenyl-4-n-butyl-(n-pentyl-)cyclohex-1-enecarboxylates, in the frequency range 0-5 to 100 MHz, has been investigated for nematic and isotropic phases. Bifurcation of the loss peak for the nematic phase is observed. For the n-pentyl compound, we conclude that molecular dimerization could play an essential role in mesophase formation. |
