Interplay between intermolecular interactions including hydrogen bonding, halogen–halogen, and van der Waals interactions in molecular crystals leads to diverse phase transition behaviors and physical properties. Bis(tetradecylamide)-substituted benzene derivatives, terephthalamide (C14-TPA), isophthalamide (C14-IPA), and phthalamide (C14-PA), were examined, and the electric field–polarization curves of the former two crystals indicated ferroelectric hysteresis behavior in high-temperature solid phases.C14-XIPAderivatives where X = CH3, Cl, Br, or I at the 5-position of the IPA molecule were synthesized, and the effects of substituent X on the molecular assembly structure and physical properties were investigated. H- and CH3-substitutedC14-IPAandC14-MeIPAformed a crystalline phase in which intermolecular amide-type N–H···O═ hydrogen-bonding interactions were dominant, whereas halogen-substitutedC14-XIPAsformed a metastable glass phase upon cooling from the isotropic liquid. The formation of the glass phase is associated with energy competition between hydrogen bonding, halogen–halogen, and van der Waals interactions among the −CONH–, −X, and −CnH2n+1units. The glass-crystal phase transition ofC14-XIPAs(X = Cl, Br, or I) changes the refractive index under polarized optical microscopic observation, which can be utilized for phase-change memory.
