, p. 107 - 125 (2007/10/02)
A new LMM photo-reactive chiral azo-containing organosiloxane (C10Azo*B) and its racemic analogue (C10Azo(±)B) have been synthesised and their mesomorphic properties investigated. The materials are denoted C10Az
Chiral Mesogenic Compounds: Carbocyclic and Heterocyclic Schiff Bases

Five different chiral p-substituted anilines derived from 4-aminobenzoic acid and from 4-aminophenol were condensed with four carbocyclic and heterocyclic aldehydes in order to obtain chiral Schiff bases resembling DOBAMBC and HOBACPC.With the exception of the pyridine-3-carboxaldehyde derivatives, the compounds are mesomorphic.Some of the compounds exhibit ferroelectric SC* phases, and all exhibit SA or Ch mesophases on heating.Benzaldehyde and pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde derivatives show similar mesomorphic behavior, as was to be expected from MNDO semiempirical calculations.Values of the spontaneous polarization of certain compounds were measured.
EFFECTS OF BRANCHING OF THE ALKYL CHAIN ON THE LIQUID CRYSTALLINE PROPERTIES OF N-(p-PHENYLBENZYLIDENE)-p-ALKOXYCARBONYLANILINES.

The liquid crystal behavior of twenty-three N-(p-phenylbenzylidene)-p-alkoxycarbonylanilines has been examined by optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry in order to study the effects of branching of the alkyl groups.
