Abstract

Abstract A variety of phenylbenzoates of the type with both X and Y being the carbonyl containing chains (CH2) nCOR (n= 0–1),(CH2) nCO2R and (CH2) nOCOR (R= alkyl chain) in various combinations were synthesized and their mesomorphic properties studied to determine if an additive effect occurs when these chains are incorporated into the same molecule. No reliable additive effect could be found. Instead, clearing temperatures often ...
