Abstract

Series of elongated Schiff base esters containing three aromatic rings with palmitoyl moiety as one of the terminal carbon chain and various substituents R (R= H, F, Cl, Br, OCH3, CH3, and C2H5) at the other end of molecule have been isolated, and their structures were proposed via physical measurement. The mesomorphic properties of these compounds were investigated via differential scanning calometry and polarizing optical microscopy. ...
