A new rod-like homologous series consisting twelve compounds with central ester linkage and terminal tert-butyl group, tert-butyl [4-(4’-n-alkoxybenzoyloxy)benzoates] has been synthesized and characterized through standard spectroscopic techniques like UV, FT-IR, 1HNMR, DSC, POM, and XRD. Methoxy and ethoxy derivatives are nonmesogenic. Nematic mesophase commences as enantiotropy from propyloxy derivative and persists up to the octadecyloxy derivatives. Smectic A mesophase commences as monotropy from propyloxy to the octadecyloxy derivatives. The mesomorphic properties of present series are compared with other structurally related series to evaluate the effect of terminal tert-butyl group on mesomorphism. Two derivatives are subjected to in?vitro antimicrobial activity.

Novel homologous series 4-(4′-n-alkoxy benzoyloxy) napthyl azo 4″–bromo benzenes, consisted of 11 members of a series. All the 11 members (ethoxy to hexadecyloxy) except hexadecyloxy are only enantiotropically nematogenic without exhibition of any smectogenic character. Transition temperatures and the textures are determined by an optical polarizing microscopy equipped with a heating stage. Textures of a nematic phase are threaded or schlieren. Analytical and spectral data supported the molecular structure of homologs. Transition curves viz., solid-nematic and nematic-isotropic showing phase behavior of the mesophase in a phase diagram behave in normal manner. Alternation of transition temperatures is exhibited by N–I transition curve. Thus, novel series is entirely nematogenic and high ordered melting type. Thus, synthesis of a novel azoester homologous series is carried out with a view to understand and establish the effect of molecular structure on Liquid crystal (LC) behaviors of a substance.

A meta substituted chalconyl ester homologous series: RO?C6H4?COO?C6H4(meta)?CO?CH?CH?C6H4?OC12H25(n)(para) is synthesized and studied with a view to understanding the effect of molecular substitution at meta position in a molecular structure on thermotropic liquid crystal properties. The novel homologous series consists of thirteen homologues (C1 to C18). All the homologues except the nonliquid crystal homologues C1, C2, C3 are enantiotropic nematic with the absence of smectic properties. The transition and melting temperatures were determined by an optical polarizing microscopy (POM) equipped with a heating stage. Textures of a nematic phase are threaded or Schlieren. Transition curves (Cr-N/I and N-I) behave in normal manner except homologues between C10 and C14 of N-I curve, which show negligible deviation from normal and a smooth descending tendency. The N-I transition curve exhibits an odd-even effect up to C10 homologue and then the odd-even effect disappears for higher homologues. Analytical and the spectral data support the molecular structures. Thermal stability for nematic is 107.3°C and the mesophase lengths range between 13.0°C and 35.0°C at the C18 and C12 homologues respectively. Group efficiency order for nematic is derived on the basis of thermal stability as ?OC12H25(n) (linear) > ?OC12H25(n) (nonlinear) > ?OC16H33 (nonlinear).
