New Self-Organizing Optical Materials and Induced Polymorphic Phases of Their Mixtures Targeted for Energy Investigations.

ABSTRACT: Herein, a new homologues series of fluorinated liquid crystal compounds, In, 4-(((4-fluorophenyl)imino)methyl)-2-methoxyphenyl 4-alkoxybenzoate were synthesized and its mesomorphic properties were investigated both experimentally and theoretically. The synthesized compounds were characterized by elemental analyzer, NMR, and FT-IR spectroscopy to deduce the molecular structures. The differential scanning calorimetry was employed to examine mesophase transitions whereas the polarized optical microscopy was used to identify the mesophases. The obtained results revealed that the purely nematic phase observed in all terminal side chains. All homologues showed to possess monotropic nematic mesophases except the derivative I8 exhibits enantiotropic property. The optimized geometrical structures o
