Abstract
ABSTRACTThe titled azoester liquid crystalline homologous series consists of eleven homologues. The pentyl to tetradecyl derivatives of the series are nematogenic without exhibition of smectogenic character. Rest of the members of the series are nonliquid crystalline in nature. Textures of the nematic mesophase are schlieren or threaded type. Transition curves in the phase diagram showed normal phase behavior. Transition temperatures and liquid crystal behavior observed under an optical polarizing microscope equipped with a heating stage. An odd even effect is observed for nematic-isotropic transition curve. Analytical and spectral data confirms the structures of the molecules. Present homologous series is predominant nematogenic and partly nonmesogenic. Average thermal stability for nematic is 125.33°C and nematogenic mesophase length varies between 12°C to 48°C at tetradecyl (C14) and octyl (C8) derivatives, respectively.
