Abstract

Abstract. - ESR studies of chain organization in 4,4'-dioctadecyloxyazoxybenzene are reported. The spin labels, closely resembling the host molecule, were marked at different positions along the chain. Various phase transitions were studied. Some paramagnetic liquid crystals were synthetized. Their mesophases have been identified. Spin labelled molecules can : 1.
