A new homologous series of Schiff base esters comprising a terminal alkoxy substituent N-{(nalkoxy-4``-bezoyloxy)-4`-benzylidene}-4-butyl aniline was studied. The alkyloxy substituent contributes to the molecular polarizability, thus, affecting intermolecular interactions, hence, resulting in nematic polymorphism. The mesomorphic properties were studied using polarizing optical microscope (POM). The lower members, n-methoxy and n-ethoxy derivatives were nonmesogens, enantiotropic nematogenic phase was observed on further lengthening of the alkyl chain from C3 to C6 and smectogenic phase was observed for compounds C7 and C8. FT-IR, 1 HNMR, 13 CNMR, EI-MS and elemental analysis were employed to elucidate the molecular structure of the title compounds whereas the liquid crystal properties were determined by POM analysis. The mesomorphic behaviors of the homologous compounds are rationalized based on the varying lengths of the alky chain.

Geochemical and Palynological analysis were carried out to assess hydrocarbon potential and palaeoenvironmental deposition for (27) core and cutting rock samples recovered from selected oil exploratory wells , Makhul-2 (Mk-2),Qarachuq-1 (Qc-1) and Qarachuq-2(Qc-2), TaqTaq-1(Taq-1), Butmah-15 (Bm-15), Ajeel-8 (Aj-8)and Jabal kand(Jk-1) ,encountered from Butmah Formation (Lower-Middle Liassic) , Sargelu Formation (Middle Jurassic) and Naokelekan Formation (upper Jurassic) .The value of palynological analyses in the undertaken study is to resolve stratigraphic and palaeoenvironmental consequences of Jurassic Period in Iraq , thus the profuse of plant cuticle of translucent phytoclast in the basin of deposition refers to proximal depositional environment due to their specific gravity of this type of plant cuticle , whereas the opaque organic matter produced either from highly oxidized environment or from forest fire residues could refer due to its light specific gravity to distal depositional environment that this type could transported far from the continents toward the aquatic environment. Recurring Type A Amorphous kerogen indicates Oil-Prone beside various amorphous types (B, C, D) within Zagros Fold Belt. The specified palynomorphs recovered from palynological analysis declared so many indications to determine the potentiality of source rocks .Almost all slides shows spores and pollen, phytoclasts and amorphous organic matter. Extracted resins and pigments are indicating toxic environment of type II-III kerogen that generates oil with subordinate gas.Geochemical analysis can aid also the undertaken study by determination the Terrestrial origin and kerogen type II-III .Previously proved that all crude oils within this sub-basin is belong to family A (sourced from Middle Jurassic Sargelu Formation) nearby local basins of family B (sourced from U. Triassic Kurra chine, and Rhaetic Baluti Shale Formation). Jurassic Period is considered as a generative hydrocarbon rock unit by means of both optical and chemical approaches definitely in the Great Kirkuk region and surrounding areas in North Iraq. Meanwhile the current studies focused on the western desert as promising reservoirs related with hydrocarbon pathways from Mesopotamian Basin.
