Peculiar orientational disorder in 4-bromo-4′-nitrobiphenyl (BNBP) and 4-bromo-4′-cyanobiphenyl (BCNBP) leading to bipolar crystals

Peculiar orientational disorder in 4-bromo-4′-nitrobiphenyl (BNBP) and 4-bromo-4′-cyanobiphenyl (BCNBP) leading to bipolar crystals

180° orientational disorder of molecular building blocks can lead to a peculiar spatial distribution of polar properties in molecular crystals. Here we present two examples [4-bromo-4′-nitrobiphenyl (BNBP) and 4-bromo-4′-cyanobiphenyl (BCNBP)] which develop into a bipolar final growth state. This me...
