Abstracts

EN

Mean molecular polarizabilities, polarizability anisotropies and order parameters of two homologous series of cyclohexane derivatives namely trans-4-alkyl cyclohexyl 4'-cyanophenyl ester and trans-4-alkyl cyclohexyl 4'-n-pentyloxy phenyl ester are evaluated using molecular vibration approach. The variation of polarizability and polarizability anisotropy with a number of carbon atoms in the alkyl chain is studied. In addition, the dependence of order parameter on temperature is reported and discussed.
