Abstract
Crystals of (BPE-DMB)IBr
2, where BPE-DMB denotes 1,4-bis[2-(pyrene-1-yl) vinyl]-2,5-dimethylbenzene, are found to be twisted along the growing axis.
Their morphology was examined in detail by X-ray examination, scanning electron and optical microscopic observations. It was
found that the twisted crystals are quasi-stable and that the twisting is not discrete but rather continuous in sub-micron
scale. The relation between a twist pitch and the cross-section area was obtained and compared with the dislocation model
proposed by Eshelby.
