A series of azo-bridged benzothiazole-phenyl ethers 4-((6- ethoxybenzothiazol-2-yl)diazenyl)bromoalkoxybenzene in which an exocyclic N=N group is situated between an ethoxy-substituted benzothiazole and a bromoalkoxyphenyl have been synthesized and characterized. The phase transition behavior of these compounds have been correlated against the variation of the flexible alkyl chain with n methylene units (CH2), ranging from 5 to 12. The thermal stability as reflected by the transition temperature range of the present homologues is found to be strongly dependent on the length of the CH2 units. All the members of this series exhibit enantiotropic nematic phases. However, upon further cooling, the compounds with n = 9-12 also behave as smectogens.

A new series of triphenylene core attached by six peripheral arms containing benzothiazole-azo with terminal ethoxy unit have successfully been synthesized and their liquid crystalline properties were characterized. The members in this series differ by the length of the methylene unit of [sbnd](CH2)n[sbnd], where n, varied following ascending order from 5 to 10. The molecular structure was characterized by elemental (C, H and N) analysis and spectroscopic methods including Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) and Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H NMR). The texture and the phase transition temperatures were investigated by using polarizing optical microscopy (POM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The disc-shape molecule with shorter spacer (n?=?5) showed monotropic nematic phase. The higher homologues with n?=?8–10 exhibited enantiotropic nematic phase and monotropic smectic C phase. The XRD diffraction studies further confirm the presence of smectic C without any discotic columnar phase.
