4'-octyl-4-cyanobiphenyl, also known as 8CB, is a liquid crystal compound. It is a nematic liquid crystal, meaning its molecules align in a parallel fashion but do not exhibit positional order. 8CB is known for its relatively high clearing point (approximately 40°C) and its use in various applications, including liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and sensors. Its synthesis involves a multi-step process that typically begins with the coupling of an aryl halide with an alkyl Grignard reagent, followed by a cyanation reaction. 8CB's unique properties make it a subject of interest in research, particularly in the development of new materials for advanced LCD technology. Researchers are exploring its potential in areas such as tunable photonic devices, switchable optical materials, and responsive surfaces. '
