Abstract
We have measured the dielectric constants of S-(4-cyanohenyl)4-pentyl (this benzoate) [5CTB] using a simple but novel technique. We find :he dielectric anisotropy of SCTB to be 70% less than :he value expected from a linear extrapolation of dielectric constant measurements of SCTB in solution with Nematic Phase 5. This is understood in terms of the pairing hypothesis of Cladis et al.
