Abstract

Novel thiophene mesogens built with two phenyl ring core and alkoxy terminal chains are synthesized by multistep route. The phenyl ring core is connected to thiophene by ester unit at (a) 2-position and (b) 3-position to yield 2-series of mesogens. The structural characterization of them is accomplished by using spectroscopy tools and the mesophase characteristics are evaluated by HOPM and DSC. The 13C chemical shifts of ...
