New chiral Schiff's bases with a 1,3,4‐thiadiazole ring in the mesogenic core: synthesis, mesomorphic and ferroelectric properties

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.…”

3-Hydroxy-4-[(phenylimino)methyl]phenyl 4-(Hexadecanoyloxy)benzoate

“…Wide-ranging research on Schiff base core systems has been carried out since the discovery of MBBA, which exhibited room temperature nematic phase [6]. Several studies have been conducted on ester type of Schiff bases due to their interesting properties and substantial temperature range [7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Thus, we report here another new derivative containing an hexadecanoyloxy chain, 3-hydroxy-4-[(phenylimino)methyl]phenyl 4-(hexadecanoyloxy)benzoate.…”

Influence of Linking Group Orientation on Mesomorphism of Two Aromatic Ring Mesogens

“…Schiff base system has received overwhelming responses ever since the discovery of MBBA which exhibited nematic phase at room temperature [5]. Several studies have been conducted on Schiff base esters owing to their interesting properties and considerable temperature range [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15].…”
