Study of the effect of molecular structure on mesomorphic properties through a novel homologous series α-3-[4′-n-alkoxy cinnamoyloxy] phenyl-β-4″-nitro benzoyl ethylenes
Suthar,Doshi
, p. 76 - 83 (2013)
Eleven members of a novel homologous series α-3-[4′-n-Alkoxy Cinnamoyloxy] phenyl-β-4″-nitro benzoyl ethylene are synthesized and evaluated for their mesomorphic properties. Seven members of the series are enantiotropically nematogenic without exhibition of smectogenic character, and the other four members are non-mesomorphic in character. Mesomorphic behavior from a phase diagram for solid to nematic and for nematic to isotropic transitions shows the normal behavior. The nematic to isotropic transition curve shows an odd-even effect. Analytical data support the structures of molecules. Nematogenic phase length ranges from 30°C to 62°C. Nematic-isotropic thermal stability is 175.7°C. The mesomorphic properties of the series are compared with the structurally similar isomeric series. Thus, the series is predominantly mesomorphic (nematogenic) and partly non-mesomorphic with middle-order melting points. Transition temperatures and other liquid crystal properties were determined by optical polarizing microscopy with a heating stage.
Synthesis and liquid crystal properties of novel ethylene derivatives: α-3-[-4′-n-alkoxy cinnamoyloxy] phenyl β-4″-methoxy benzoyl ethylenes
Chauhan,Doshi

Eleven members of a novel homologous series of α-3-[-4′-n- alkoxy cinnamoyloxy] phenyl β-4″-methoxy benzoyl ethylenes were synthesized. The methyloxy, ethyloxy, butyloxy, and hexadecyloxy homologues are nonmesomorphic, while all the other homologues are mesomorphic. The mesomorphic homologues are enantiotropically smectogenic in combination with nematogenic character, except for the propyloxy homologue, which shows only nematogenic character. A phase diagram of the series shows the expected mesomorphic behavior. Transition temperatures of this series are observed through an optical polarizing microscope equipped with a heating stage. An odd-even effect is observed for nematic-isotropic transition curve. Analytical data supports the structures of the molecules. Mesomorphic temperature range varies from 23°C to 51°C. Liquid crystal properties of this series are compared with a structurally similar homologous series. The smectic and nematic thermal stability of the series are 138.8°C and 165.7°C, respectively. The nematic phase shows a threaded or schlieren texture, and the smectic phase is a smectic A phase. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
Mesogenic naphthyl derivatives
Patel,Prajapati
, p. 106 - 115 (2017/03/08)
Two new mesogenic homologous series of liquid crystalline naphthalene derivatives with different central linkages: 2- Naphthyl-4-n-alkoxybenzoates (I) and trans-2-Naphthyl -4-n –alkoxycinnamates(II), have been synthesized and characterized by a combination of elemental analysis and standard spectroscopic methods. Twelve compounds have been synthesized in both the series I and II. In series I, methoxy to n-pentyloxy derivatives are non mesogenic, n-hexyloxy to n-hexadecyloxy derivatives exhibit monotropic nematic mesophase. Smectic A mesophase commences from n-decyloxy derivatives as a monotropy and persist up to the last member synthesized. All the 12 compounds of series II exhibit mesomorphism. Methoxy to n-propyloxy derivatives exhibit monotropic nematic mesophse, and n-butyloxy to n-tetradecyloxy derivatives exhibit enantiotropic nematic mesophase. n-Hexayloxy to n-hexadecyloxy derivatives also exhibit enantiotropic smectic A mesophase. The mesomorphic properties of present series were compared with each other and with a structurally related mesogenic homologous series to evaluate the effects of central linkage on mesomorphism.
Mesomorphism dependence on heterocyclic tail

A novel homologous series of liquid crystal materials containing a heterocyclic ring was synthesized with a view to understanding and establishing the relation between liquid crystal (LC) properties and a molecular structure; and with a view to curing skin-related diseases following biological activity studies. The series consist of 13 (C1 to C18) members. All the members are liquid crystals. The C4 to C18 members are smectogenic of which C4 and C5 are monotropic and remaining members (C6 to C18) are enantiotropic in nature; whereas all C1 to C18 members are enantiotropically nematogenic. Hence the C1, C2, C3 members are only nematogenic and the rest of the homologues are smectogenic in addition to nematogenic. Transition temperatures were determined by an polarizing optical microscope equipped with heating stage. Analytical and spectral data confirmed the molecular structures of homologues. It is a middle ordered melting type series. LC properties of a series are compared with the structurally known series.
