AZOMESOGENS CONTAINING TWO FUSED RING MOIETIES: SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION
摘要:
Several liquid crystalline compounds derived from 2-aminonaphthalene have been synthesized. The molecules are designed to accommodate two napthalene moieties. The molecular structures of these new compounds have been characterized by element analysis, FTIR, and NMR spectral studies. The mesomorphic behavior has been studied using mainly polarized microscope and in some cases differential scanning calorimeter as well. Our investigation reveals that all the compounds exhibit enantiotropic nematic phase. The mesomorphic behaviors of these new compounds have been compared with those of structurally related materials.
