Mesomorphic behaviour of new azomethine liquid crystals having terminal bromo substituent

4-{[(4-Bromophenyl)imino]methyl}-3-hydroxyphenyl 4-(Hexadecanoyloxy)benzoate

“…Wide-ranging research on Schiff base core systems has been conducted since the discovery of MBBA which exhibited room temperature nematic phase [3]. Several studies have been conducted on ester-type Schiff bases owing to their interesting properties and substantial temperature range [4][5][6][7][8][9]. As a continuation of our previous work, we report here a new liquid crystal, 4-{[(4-bromophenyl)imino]methyl}-3-hydroxyphenyl 4-(hexadecanoyloxy)benzoate.…”
