Dependence of Liquid Crystalline Behaviors on Molecular Flexibility

Abstract: A novel homologous series of thermotropic liquid crystal (LC) has been synthesized with a view to understand and establish the effect of molecular structure on liquid crystal behaviors of a series. The present LC series consist of twelve homologues (C 1 to C 16 ); whose mesomorphic properties commence from octyloxy (C 8 ) homologue of a series. C 8 , C 10 and C 12 members of a series are monotropic smectic and C 14 , C 16 members are enantiotropically smectogenic. C 1 to C 7 homologues are nonmesomorphic. Nema… Show more
