EFFECT OF CHAIN BRANCHING ON MESOMORPHISM IN BROAD MOLECULES.

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00268948408071841

Two new homologous series of Schiff's bases were synthesized. The method of preparation and the liquid crystalline properties of these compounds are described. Both series are nematogenic; the smectic phase is absent even in higher members of the series. In series I, the C//2 and C//3 homologue exhibit two solid modifications. The influence of branching in the end alkoxy groups of these compounds on the mesomorphism is discussed. The mesomorphic properties of these compounds are compared with those of related compounds.
