Abstract:Successful preparation of new liquid crystalline 3 (or 4)-n-alkanoyloxy benzoic acids, were designed and fully characterized via experimental and theoretical approaches. Elucidation of their molecular structures were carried out by elemental analyses, NMR and FT-IR, spectroscopy. Thermal and mesomorphic properties of all symmetrical dimers having -symmetrical alkanoyloxy chain, were analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and their mesophases identified by polarized optical microscopy (POM).
