, p. 43 - 54 (2001)
Binary systems of two non-mesogens exhibiting mesomorphism are rare. In the present study few binary systems of non-mesogens exhibiting smectic and/or nematic mesophases are reported. One of the components is Schiff base having terminal isopropyl group and the other component contains an ester linkage. The binary systems of non-mesogens with terminal isopropyl group having identical structures (homologues) also exhibit induced mesomorphism. Some of the binary compositions exhibit smectic phase at ambient temperature. The phase diagrams of the present study are discussed in detail and the common features emerging from the overall study are outlined.

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.
Synthesis and mesomorphic characterization of some novel steroidal mesogens: A structure–property correlation

The steroidal derivatives are found to be extremely good mesogens since their inception. Because of their inherent chirality, they have the potential to induce a wide variety of liquid crystalline phases, including frustrated phases depending upon the structure of the steroidal skeleton and the substituents attached. In this report, a series of novel monoalkoxy and dialkoxy benzoate derivatives of ergosterol and a few monoalkoxy derivatives of stigmasterol have been synthesized and their mesomorphic property has been investigated. The derivatives exhibited various mesophases including SmA, SmC*, N*, TGB and blue phases. Also, the gelation ability of some of these derivatives with various organic solvents has been examined. Furthermore, the mesomorphism of these derivatives has been compared with the analogous cholesteryl counterparts.
