Abstract
In the case of NPOB two solid modifications, stable and metastable, were found. Thermodynamic parameters were determined for the solid-smectic A, smectic A-nematic and nematic-isotropic liquid phase transitions. The nature of these transitions is analyzed. Special attention was paid to the kinetics of the metastable-to-stable phase transition.Keywords
