A series of Schiff base hydroxy-mesogens and their model compounds have been synthesized. The mesogen is constructed from three-ring-containing mesogens linked through ester and azomethine groups with a terminal hydroxy group. The related model compounds were also synthesized with varying chain length with a terminal methyl group and their properties were compared with that of hydroxy mesogens. Extensive characterization of all mesogenic compounds was carried out by Fourier-transform IR, 1H and 13C NMR and mass spectroscopy. The phase characteristics such as nature of phase, melting and clearing temperatures and phase range were evaluated using a hot-stage optical polarizing microscope and differential scanning calorimetry. The appearance of enantiotropic smectic phases is due to the high molecular polarizability of the triaromatic core with azomethine and ester linkages. CSIRO 2010.

A series of tetradentate Schiff base metallomesogenic diols and their model compounds were synthesized from two simple dihydroxy benzenes. The metallomesogenic diol was constructed from three ring containing mesogen linked through ester and azomethine with terminal hydroxy group. This upon complexation with copper(II) formed metallomesogenic diol with varing terminal chain length. The related model metallomesogenic compounds were also synthesized with varying chain length with terminal methyl group and compared the properties with metallomesogenic diols. Extensive characterization of all metallomesogenic compounds and intermediates were carried out by FT-IR, 1H & 13C NMR, EPR, VSM, Mass (EI and FAB) and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Hot stage polarizing microscope, Differential scanning calorimetry was used to ensure the phase characteristics such as nature of phase, melting and clearing temperatures and phase range. The appearance of enantiotropic smectic A phases indicated high molecular polarizability of the core due to the metal ion. The role of copper(II) ion on mesogens were discussed.
