NEW LIQUID CRYSTALLINE MATERIAL EXHIBITING A REENTRANT NEMATIC PHASE.

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00268948308075359

The thermal properties of a homologous series of 3-cyano-7-(4 prime -(4 double prime -alkoxybenzoyloxy)benzoyloxy) coumarins have been examined. All homologs (the ethoxy to nonyloxy homologs) form high stability of the nematic phase. The heptyloxy homolog shows a reentrant behavior of the type, C-N-S//A-N-I.
