Mesomorphism dependence on central bridges and the efficiency order of the tail group

A novel homologous series: RO-C6H4?CH?CH?COO?C6H4?CH?N-C6H3 (CH3)2 of ortho-meta Schiff's bases has been synthesized and studied with a view to understanding and establishing the effects of molecular structure on mesomorphic properties and to provide a source of novel liquid crystalline (LC) materials. The series consists of 13 homologues (C1 to C8, C10, C12, C14, C16 & C18). C1 and C3 homologues are nonmesomorphic, C2 and C4monotropicnematic, C6 and C7monotropicsmectic in addition to enantiotropicnematic, C5 is only enantiotropicnematic, C8, C10, C12 are enantiotropically smectogenic plus nematogenic and C14, C16, C18 homologues are enantiotropically smectic only. Textures and transition temperatures were determined using an optical polarizing microscope equipped with a heating stage. Analytical and spectral data confirm the molecular structures. Average smectic and nematic thermal stabilities are 100.16°C and 110.83°C, respectively. Mesomorphic properties of present novel series are compared with structurally similar homologous series.
