4-Cyano-4′-ethylbiphenyl（Cat No.:L010859）is an organic compound consisting of a biphenyl structure with an ethyl group at the para position of one phenyl ring and a cyano group (-CN) at the para position of the other. It appears as a pale solid and is used primarily in the field of materials science, particularly in liquid crystal displays (LCDs), due to its mesogenic properties. The cyano group contributes to its electron-withdrawing character, enhancing the compound’s ability to form stable liquid crystal phases. It also finds use in organic electronics and as a building block for various chemical syntheses.
