Abstract

Aromatic polyazomethines–containing azobenzene side groups have been synthesized by solution polycondensation reaction of aromatic dialdehydes bearing flexible spacers between the aromatic rings with aromatic diamines having preformed azobenzene side groups. Thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, polarized optical microscopy, and wide angle X-ray diffraction have been used to evaluate their thermal and mesomorphic properties. The target polyazomethines showed nematic liquid crystalline phase, large mesophase range, and good thermal stability.
