TCI C1299 4-Cyanobiphenyl combines a rigid, linear biphenyl core with a strongly polar nitrile group at the para position. This structural pairing makes it a classic reference scaffold in liquid crystal and optoelectronic materials research. The nitrile also serves as a synthetic handle for conversion into carboxylic acids, amides, primary amines, or tetrazoles. AMI Scientific supplies this TCI building block in 5 g and 25 g pack sizes for both characterisation and preparative work.
