With several methods, a large number of liquid crystalline compounds were obtained, which contained a cyclohexane fragment with a lateral methyl substituent. IJovel mesogena were studied for chemical, physioochemical, and mesomorphic properties.
ChemInform Abstract The 2,6-disubstituted imidazothiadiazoles (IIIa)-(IIId), which bear no substituent at C-5, generally form smectic mesophases over a wide range of temperature. The 5-alkyl, 5-bromo or 5-cyano substituted title compounds (IIIe), (IV) or (V) display nematic properties and a marked change of their spectral characteristics as compared to their 5-unsubstituted analogues (IIIa)-(IIId). The bromination of these compounds (IIIa)-(IIId) is markedly influenced by the p-substituent of the neighboring 6-aryl group. The preparation of the derivatives (III) is carried out by a known procedure (no yields are given for the compounds (III) and (IV)).

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
