The title compound, C30H20N2O4, exhibits a nematic phase in the wide temperature range between 498.5 and 538.6 K, in spite of the short linker moiety. Two crystal forms have been found. In both forms, the mol­ecule is centrosymmetric. Form I has a planar biphenyl group, while form II has a twisted biphenyl group with a twist angle of 34.75 (6)°. The packing modes are also different. In form I the long mol­ecular axes are tilted with respect to each other at about 30°, while in form II the long mol­ecular axes have an almost parallel arrangement.

Comment top

Dimeric liquid crystals have attracted considerable attention because they are regarded as model compounds for polymeric liquid crystals. Previously, we reported the crystal structures of two series, α,ω-bis(4-cyanobiphenyl-4'-yloxycarbonyl)propane and -hexane, and α,ω-bis(4-cyanobiphenyl-4'-yl)octane and -nonane (Hori et al. 2004). The inversion centres are located at the centres of the molecules of the ester compounds, while the molecular structures were asymmetric for the latter two compounds with alkyl chains as linkages.

In order to investigate the short limit of the linkage for liquid crystalline behaviour, we synthesized the title compound, (I), which exhibits the nematic phase in the wide temperature range between 498.5 and 538.6 K. We found two crystal forms, I and II. Form I, with an oval plate shape, was obtained predominantly, while form II, with a rod shape, was only obtained once. Both forms were apparently stable between 200 K and room temperature.

As shown in Fig. 1, the inversion centre is located in the middle of the molecules in both forms. The molecules are fully extended with trans conformations in the alkyl chain linkages. However, the biphenyl moieties are quite different, with an almost planar biphenyl moiety [dihedral angle 4.65 (10)°] in form I and a twisted biphenyl moiety [dihedral angle 34.75 (6)°] in form II.

The packing modes are also different. In form I, the long molecular axes are tilted with respect to each other at about 30°, as shown in Fig. 2. Here, the nearest groups for the CN group are the ester linkages: 3.189 (2) for N1···C14(x - 1, -y + 1/2, z + 1/2), 3.261 (2) for N1···O1(x - 1, -y + 1/2, z + 1/2), 3.356 (2) for O1···C1(-x, -y, -z + 1), 3.595 (2) for N1···O2(x - 1, -y + 1/2, z + 1/2) and 3.620 (2) Å for N1···O1(-x, -y, -z + 1).

On the other hand, the long molecular axes have an almost parallel arrangement in form II, as shown in Fig. 3. An antiparallel arrangement of CN groups, with distances of 3.260 (3) for N1···N1(-x + 2, -y, -z + 3) and 3.267 (2) Å for N1···C1(-x + 2, -y, -z + 3), is found in the sheet parallel to the ac plane. In addition, short distances are found between a CN group and an ester moiety: 3.1672 (18) for N1···O2(-x + 2, -y, -z + 2) and 3.5156 (19) Å for N1···C14(-x + 2, -y, -z + 2).

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) showed no phase transitions between room temperature and the melting point of for I of (I) at 498.5 K. Unfortunately, DSC could not be carried out for form II due to the very small number of crystals. Microscopic observation confirmed that form II showed no change until the melting point, which was 1–2 K lower than that of form I, meaning that form I is more stable throughout the temperature range from room temperature to the melting point. This result is in accordance with the density rule, stating that the most efficiently packed structure is the most stable form (Bernstein, 2002), a direct consequence of the closest packing principle (Kitaigorodsky, 1961).

For isolated molecules, the most stable conformation of the biphenyl moiety was obtained when the dihedral angle was 40° by AM1 calculation (MOPAC2002; Fujitsu, 2002). The heat of formation for the planar conformation was higher by 4.5 kcal mol-1 (1 kcal mol-1 = 4.184 kJ mol-1). Thus, the disadvantage of the molecular stability of form I is compensated by the more efficient packing of its planar biphenyl moieties.

On melting, the nematic phase appeared, as confirmed by the Schlieren texture, and the material then transformed to the isotropic phase at 538.6 K. The transition enthalpies were 37.3 kJ mol-1 for form I to nematic and 6.5 kJ mol-1 for nematic to isotropic.

Experimental top

The title compound was synthesized as described previously (Hori et al. 2004). Three kinds of crystals, oval plate, needle and rod, were obtained by slow evaporation from dichloromethane with a small amount of methanol. Cell dimensions were the same for the oval plate and needle crystals and these were denoted form I. The rod-shaped crystals, obtained only once, had different cell dimensions and were denoted form II.

DSC was carried out on a DSC-22 C (Seiko) and microscopic observation was done on a POM microscope (Olympus) equipped with an FP-82 hot stage (Mettler).
