order parameter of the homologous compounds trans‐4‐alkyl (4‐cyanophenyl)‐
cyclohexane are reported in the nematic and isotropic phases. The principal molecular
polarizabilities (α e, αo) and the order parameters S have been evaluated using the
anisotropic internal field model (Neugebauer's approach). The theoretical estimations of the
mean and principal molecular polarizabilities made by two different approaches, viz., the …
