Macroscopic crystalline deformation in an organic dye during reversible phase transition caused by alkyl disorder†
Abstract
Single crystals of a bisazomethine dye with diethylamino terminal groups exhibited thermally induced dynamic behavior. DSC and microscopy measurements indicated that the crystal shape deformed reversibly owing to phase transition. The X-ray structural analysis revealed that the dynamic behavior was correlated with the disorder of the ethyl moieties.
