Abstract

Three representative examples of 2:1 complexes formed between 4-alkoxycyanobiphenyls and 1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzene have been reprepared, and single crystal data were obtained for all (including one redetermination). Their thermal behavior has been examined in detail using polarized optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and small-angle X-ray scattering, with no evidence for liquid crystallinity being found.
