Novel homologous series 4-(4’-n-alkoxy benzoyloxy)- napthyl-1-azo-(2”-methyl)-4”-azo-2”-methyl benzene consisted of 12 members of a series. All the 12 members (ethoxy to hexadecyloxy) are enantiotropically nematogenic without exhibition of any smectogenic character. Transition temperatures and the textures are determinedby an optical polarizing microscopy furnished with a heatingstage. Textures of a nematic phase are threaded or schlieren.
Analytical and spectral data supported the molecular structure ofhomologs. Transition curves viz., solid-nematic and nematic-isotropic showing phase behavior of the mesophase in a phase diagrambehave in normal manner. Reversion of transition temperatures is show by N–I transition curve. Hereby, novel series is entirely nematogenic and high to middle ordered melting type. Thus, synthesis of a novel azo ester homologous series is fulfil with a view to understand and establish the effect of molecular structure on Liquid crystal (LC) behaviors of a substance.
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.
