Abstract

Abstract With the objective to design and synthesis of Schiff's base symmetrical liquid crystal dimmers and to study the effect of molecular structure variation (,,) and change in alkoxy terminal chain length on mesomorphic properties of liquid crystals, We have synthesized Schiff base dimers from dialdehyde derivative containing 2-hydroxy-1, 3-dioxypropylene as short spacer with aniline derivatives having different lengths of terminal alkoxy chains (= 5, ...
