Abstract

Two series of mesogens based on isophthalic acid and side arms containing two and three phenyl rings linked through azomethine or ester groups were synthesized via divergent approach. Another type of structurally similar mesogen was synthesized via convergent approach in which the azomethine groups were replaced by ester groups. All the synthesized mesogens and their intermediates were structurally well characterized using ...
