, p. 76 - 89 (2021/04/14)
A new rod-like homologous series consisting twelve compounds with central ester linkage and terminal tert-butyl group, tert-butyl [4-(4’-n-alkoxybenzoyloxy)benzoates] has been synthesized and characterized through standard spectroscopic techniques like UV, FT-IR, 1HNMR, DSC, POM, and XRD. Methoxy and ethoxy derivatives are nonmesogenic. Nematic mesophase commences as enantiotropy from propyloxy derivative and persists up to the octadecyloxy derivatives. Smectic A mesophase commences as monotropy from propyloxy to the octadecyloxy derivatives. The mesomorphic properties of present series are compared with other structurally related series to evaluate the effect of terminal tert-butyl group on mesomorphism. Two derivatives are subjected to in?vitro antimicrobial activity.

Novel homologous series 4-(4′-n-alkoxy benzoyloxy) napthyl azo 4″–bromo benzenes, consisted of 11 members of a series. All the 11 members (ethoxy to hexadecyloxy) except hexadecyloxy are only enantiotropically nematogenic without exhibition of any smectogenic character. Transition temperatures and the textures are determined by an optical polarizing microscopy equipped with a heating stage. Textures of a nematic phase are threaded or schlieren. Analytical and spectral data supported the molecular structure of homologs. Transition curves viz., solid-nematic and nematic-isotropic showing phase behavior of the mesophase in a phase diagram behave in normal manner. Alternation of transition temperatures is exhibited by N–I transition curve. Thus, novel series is entirely nematogenic and high ordered melting type. Thus, synthesis of a novel azoester homologous series is carried out with a view to understand and establish the effect of molecular structure on Liquid crystal (LC) behaviors of a substance.

Chiral ionic liquid crystals based on the S-methyl-N,N′-α-methylarylthiouronium cation have been prepared and studied. Most salts, interestingly including an example with the bistriflimide anion, display a SmA? phase with anion-dependent transition temper

A new homologous series of Y-shaped liquid crystals namely 4-Nitro-[2′4′bis (4″-n-alkoxybenzoyloxy)] phenyl bisazobenzenes have been synthesized and its thermotropic properties studied on the hot stage of a polarizing microscope. The compounds consist four phenyl rings joined through ester and bisazo linkages with alkoxy and nitro as terminal substituents. The structures of synthesized compounds were confirmed by spectroscopic techniques such as FTIR, 1HNMR as well as elemental analysis. The compounds were found to exhibit enantiotropic nematic and smectic mesophases. The role of molecular shape, size and polarity of functional groups in the mesophases formation is discussed.

A meta substituted chalconyl ester homologous series: RO?C6H4?COO?C6H4(meta)?CO?CH?CH?C6H4?OC12H25(n)(para) is synthesized and studied with a view to understanding the effect of molecular substitution at meta position in a molecular structure on thermotropic liquid crystal properties. The novel homologous series consists of thirteen homologues (C1 to C18). All the homologues except the nonliquid crystal homologues C1, C2, C3 are enantiotropic nematic with the absence of smectic properties. The transition and melting temperatures were determined by an optical polarizing microscopy (POM) equipped with a heating stage. Textures of a nematic phase are threaded or Schlieren. Transition curves (Cr-N/I and N-I) behave in normal manner except homologues between C10 and C14 of N-I curve, which show negligible deviation from normal and a smooth descending tendency. The N-I transition curve exhibits an odd-even effect up to C10 homologue and then the odd-even effect disappears for higher homologues. Analytical and the spectral data support the molecular structures. Thermal stability for nematic is 107.3°C and the mesophase lengths range between 13.0°C and 35.0°C at the C18 and C12 homologues respectively. Group efficiency order for nematic is derived on the basis of thermal stability as ?OC12H25(n) (linear) > ?OC12H25(n) (nonlinear) > ?OC16H33 (nonlinear).

The titled azoester liquid crystalline homologous series consists of eleven homologues. The pentyl to tetradecyl derivatives of the series are nematogenic without exhibition of smectogenic character. Rest of the members of the series are nonliquid crystalline in nature. Textures of the nematic mesophase are schlieren or threaded type. Transition curves in the phase diagram showed normal phase behavior. Transition temperatures and liquid crystal behavior observed under an optical polarizing microscope equipped with a heating stage. An odd even effect is observed for nematic-isotropic transition curve. Analytical and spectral data confirms the structures of the molecules. Present homologous series is predominant nematogenic and partly nonmesogenic. Average thermal stability for nematic is 125.33°C and nematogenic mesophase length varies between 12°C to 48°C at tetradecyl (C14) and octyl (C8) derivatives, respectively.

Eleven homologues of the title series were synthesized. The methyl-to-pentyl derivatives are nonmesomorphic. The nematic mesophase commences from the sixth member of the series without any smectic phase. An odd-even effect in the nematic-isotropic transition curve is not observed. The nematic mesophase appeared as a threaded or a Schlieren-type texture as observed through a hot-stage polarizing microscope. The nematic-isotropic transition temperatures are between 89°C and 127°C with the mesomorphic range varying from 9°C to 44°C at the hexyl and tetradecyl derivative of the series, respectively. The nematic-isotropic transition curve initially rises and then falls in a normal manner as the series is ascended, but it abnormally rises beyond the 10th homologue. The series is enantiotropic nematic with a middle-ordered melting type. Analytical data support the structures of the molecules. The thermal stability and some other mesomorphic characteristics are compared with structurally similar homologous series. The average nematic-isotropic thermal stability is 105.4°C.

Novel liquid crystal (LC) materials of ester derivatives were synthesized and studied with a view to understanding and establishing the effects of molecular structure on LC properties. The novel molecules consist of two phenyl rings bonded through-COO-central group and a laterally substituted methoxy group with-OCnH2n+1 as well as-COOCH3 terminal end groups, and yielded 12 homologous members of an ester series. The C1 to C3 members are nonmesomorphic, the C4 to C12 members are enantiotropic nematic only, and the C14 to C16 members are enantiotropically smectogenic in addition to nematogenic. Transition temperatures and the textures of LC state were observed through an optical polarizing microscope (POM) equipped with a heating stage. The textures of nematic phase are threaded or Schlieren, and that of smectic phase are focal conic of the type A or C. Transition curves of a phase diagram behave in normal manner with the exhibition of an odd-even effect (only N-I). Analytical and spectral data support the molecular structures of the novel ester derivatives. The LC properties of the present series are compared with structurally similar other known series. The average thermal stability of the series is 93°C for smectic and 120.88°C for nematic and the mesogenic phase length ranges between 2°C and 46°C.

A novel ester homologous series was synthesized and studied with a view to understanding and establishing the effects of molecular structure on liquid crystal properties with a common laterally substituted-OCH3 group and changing terminal groups. The novel series consists of twelve members. The C1 to C3 members are not liquid crystals and the rest of the members C4 to C16 are smectogenic without exhibition of nematic character. Textures of smectic phase are focal conic fan shaped of the type A or C. The transition temperatures and textures of smectic mesophases were observed through hot stage polarizing microscopy (POM). The transition curves (Cr-I or Cr-M and Sm-I) behaved in normal manner. Analytical and spectral data support the molecular structures. Average thermal stability for smectic is 77.25°C and smectogenic mesophase ranges from 15°C to 33°C. Liquid crystal properties of the present series are compared with structurally similar homologous series. Thus, the series is smectogenic only with three homologs nonmesogenic.
