Abstract

Abstract The synthesis of a series of banana-shaped mesogenic structures has been carried out, in which the bend unit is formed by the 3, 6-substitution of carbazole by 4-alkoxyphenyl moieties. The crystal structures of the methoxy and propyloxy derivatives are reported with an analysis of the NH… π interactions that are observed in the crystalline state. This analysis was aided by semi-empirical molecular orbital calculations. Additionally, the thermal ...
