Synthesis and mesomorphic properties of new heterocyclic liquidcrystals with Central Ester-Chalcone linkages

A series of new calamitic liquid crystals, 4-[3-(pyridin-4-yl)prop-2-enoyl]phenyl 4-alkyloxybenzoates, comprising a pyridyl core,ester-chalcone central linkage and terminal alkyloxy chain were synthesized and characterized. This series consists of four membersthat differ by the length of the alkylox...
