Abstract

Currently, a new set of asymmetrical dimeric molecules with a Schiff-base at one end and a chalcone alkali substitution by di-ether are made and their liquid crystal and fluorescence properties are investigated. The proposed chemical structure was confirmed by routine analytical methods using FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy. Additionally, polarized optical microscopy (POM); was used to assess the pointed compounds' liquid crystalline characteristics, while differential scanning calorimetry (DSC); was employed to confirm the compounds' transitions. The results report the length of the alkali chain at one end of the molecule is critical to the creation of the mesophase type. Compounds with medium-length chains exhibit nematic mesophases with moderate transition temperatures. The fluorescence of compounds was analyzed, with blue-emitting results indicating the presence of blue-light-emitting features. The 10a had higher ɛ; as well as red-shifted λmax; and Fmax; compared to the others and has blue light emission properties. Eventually; the expanding range of possible uses to include OLED material and fluorescent probes for sensing applications.
