A new homologous series of symmetric, bent-shaped bis-benzamide dimers have been prepared. Several 1,n-bis(p-aminophenoxy)alkanes (n = 3, 5, 9,10,11) were employed as spacers and p-hexyloxy tails have been synthesized and appended to the spacers by amide linking groups. Different important parameters were explored using computational analysis by semi empirical method. The experimental results were correlated with theoretical studies and relationship between molecular structure and mesogenic behavior has been established. The mesomorphic properties of the resultant dimers were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarized optical microscopy (POM) equipped with a hot stage. Change in mesomorphic properties with change of methylene spacers was observed. Enantiotropic mesogenic behavior was exhibited by D3A6, D10A6 and D11A6 and the needle like and blurred schleiren textures were observed. It was observed that increased methylene spacers chain length decreased the melting temperatures. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed the thermal stability of dimers upto 360 °C.

A series of azomethine functionalized diols were synthesized by the condensation reaction of aromatic diamines with 4-hydroxy benzaldehyde. Aromatic diamines with different alkyl chain lengths have been used to prepare the bisphenols. These bisphenols wer

The synthesis and characterisation of two new series of liquid crystal tetramers in which four mesogenic groups are linked via three alkyl spacers is reported. In each series the length of the outer two spacers, n, is varied between 3, 4, 5, 7, 10 and 11
