- Synthesis and mesomorphic properties of quinoline-8-yl-4-((4-n-alkoxy benzylidene) amino) benzoate: The effect of linkage group
-
A new homologous series viz. quinoline-8-yl-4-((4-n-alkoxy benzylidene) amino) benzoate based on two central linking groups have been designed and characterised by elemental analyses and spectroscopic techniques such as Fourier transform infrared [FT-IR] and protonmagnetic resonance magnetic resonance [1H NMR] spectroscopy. The mesomorphic properties of these compounds were observed by polarizing optical light microscopy (POM) and confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). All synthesized compounds displayed LC property except first two homologue. The lower homologues (n = 4 to 8) display SmA and SmC phase while, in higher homologues (n = 10 to 18) SmC and nematic phasewere seen in heating and cooling condition.

- The effect of position of tert-butyl tail group on the formation of liquid crystal in Schiff base ester based homologous series
-
We report a newly rod like calamatic liquid crystalline materials, which are constructed by the self-organization of a rod-like carboxylic acid derivative based on Schiff base ester as the linking group with tert butyl tail group. A newly series of 4-(tert-butyl) phenyl 4-((4-alkoxybenzylidene) amino) benzoate with different alkyl chain spacer (n = 1 to 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18) were synthesized and their mesomorphic properties were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and polarized optical microscopy. All homologous in present series displays mesophase in enantiotropically manner. Thermal stability of SmC-SmA is 137.5 °C. All the compounds were characterized by spectroscopic and elemental analysis. The effects of varying left alkyl side spacer on mesomorphism with its structurally related compounds in series have been discussed.
