Abstract

The results of investigation of polymorphism and mesomorphic states of fluorinated derivatives of alkylcyclohexanecarboxylic acids nFACHCA and new results for n=4, 7 are discussed. The methods of vibrational spectroscopy have been used. The samples were investgiated in the 290-500 K temperature range. The spectra were recorded in the range of 400-4000 cm^-1. The frequencies of normal modes and IR band intensities are calculated for conformers of H-bonded complexes with varioius orientations of fluoroalkyl radical and carboxylic group relative to the rest of the molecular compelx. The polymorphism of the nFACHCA is conformational. The influence of H-bonds on dynamics of H-bonded complex, polymorphic crystalline modification and mesophase formaiton was determined. The transitions solid crystal-liquid crystal-isotropic liquid and soution are accompanied by H-bond system reconstruction: the dimers, associates, chain associates and monomers appear.
