Synthesis and Investigation of Mesomorphic Properties of Ester Linkage containing Compounds

Abstract

A homologous series consisting-coo-central bridge liquid crystals has been synthesized and investigatedwith a vision to understanding and establishingthe effect of molecular structure in respect of molecular size, geometrical shape and polarizability on liquid crystalline properties. Unique series consisted of 12 members (C1-C16) of a series. Series consisting nematogenicandsmectogenic properties with respect to their carbon atoms. Novel members of series were selectively characterized and confirmed by elemental analysis, IR spectra, H1NMR spectra, DSC and POM.
