Binary mixtures with both the components are non-mesogenic becomes an interesting and enlighten feature when they exhibit mesomorphism at ambient temperature. In the present study, we report five binary systems where two non-mesogenes exhibit smectic and/or nematic mesophases at ambient temperature over a certain range of concentration. All the binary systems contain one non-mesogenic naphthalene derivative. The study provides many binary systems of non-mesogens which exhibit mesophases at ambient temperatures. The terminal nitro chain is found to be responsible for the induction of both the nematogenic and smectogenic tendency in the present investigation of binary systems with two ‘compatible' component.

The mesomorphic properties of linear shaped homologous series based on two linkage group have been designed and synthesized with different side chain substituents (-OR) on the one end of terminal side with presence of lateral nitro group and second terminal iodo substituted group. Novel series consists thirteen members (C1 to C8, C10, C12, C14, C16, C18). Compounds (C1 to C6) showed nonliquid crystalline properties while compound (C7 to C18) displayed smectic and nematogenic mesophase properties. The textures of smectic C and nematic phase are fan, schlieren and droplets type. All these compounds were characterized by spectroscopic techniques such as [FTIR] and 1H Nuclear magnetic resonance [NMR] spectroscopy. The mesomorphic properties of these compounds were observed by POM and further confirmed by DSC and XRD. Chalconyl ester based compounds (C3 to C12) shows good antibacterial as well as antifungal activity compared with corresponding standard drugs.
λ-shaped to T-shaped azo diester mesogens having methyl (–CH3)/methoxy(–OCH3) terminal substituents with trisubstituted benzene

A two new homologous series of λ-shape to T-shape mesogenic azo diesters were synthesized, and their thermotropic properties were studied by differential scanning calorimetry and a hot-stage polarizing optical microscope. The difference between these two series is in the structure of terminal substituents methyl (–CH3) for series I and methoxy (–OCH3) for series II at one terminus. Structure variation from λ-shape to T-shape as we go from lower members to higher members is discussed. In the series I, methoxy to n-pentyloxy derivatives are non-mesogenic. n-hexyloxy derivative exhibits only monotropic nematic mesophase. n-heptyloxy to n-dodecyloxy derivatives exhibit monotropic smectic C mesophase. n-tetradecyloxy derivative exhibits enantiotropic SmA mesophase, whereas n-hexadecyloxy derivatives exhibit monotropic Smectic A mesophase. In series II, methoxy to n-hexyloxy derivatives are non-mesogenic. n-heptyloxy and n-octyloxy derivatives exhibit monotropic smectic C mesophase. Smectic A mesophase commences from the n-decyloxy derivative as a monotropic and persists up to the last member synthesized. The mesomorphic properties of the present series were compared with each other and with the structurally related mesogenic homologous series to evaluate the effect of methyl (–CH3)/methoxy (–OCH3) substituents as well as variation in the shape of the molecule by varying the alkoxy chain length of the bulky lateral substituent on mesomorphism.
