Description
Summary:The design and synthesis of new calamitic benzothiazole-based liquid crystals,2-[4-(4-alkyloxybenzoyloxy)-phenyl]ben-zothiazoles are presented.The target compound was characterized using spectroscopic techniques,such as FT-IR,NMR(~1H and ~(13)C),microanalysis and EI-MS.The liquid crystalline behaviours of these compounds were thoroughly examined by differential scanning calorimetry and polarizing optical microscope techniques.These materials exhibited enantiotropic nematic phase with high thermal stability(168℃).Smectic A phase starts to emerge as monotropic(metastable) phase from C10 member and changes into enantiotropic(stable) phase from C12 and persists up to C16 members.
