2006) Synthesis and study of N,diazenyl]benzylidene-4′-alkylanilines, Liquid Crystals, 33:3, 289-293, A series of N,N-disubstituted-4-[(4-aminophenyl)diazenyl]benzylidene-49-alkylanilines (azo dyes) were synthesized from the reaction of the corresponding benzaldehyde with alkylanilines. These azo dyes exhibit nematic and SmC phases on heating. Their order parameter, photo-stability and miscibility were studied by investigation of a representative sample.
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.
