Columnar Liquid-Crystalline Phase from a Series of Symmetrical Bent Diphenylamine Derivatives: Synthesis and Characterization
A series of symmetrical bent-shaped materials with six alkoxy chains at the terminal position has been designed and synthesized. All except one exhibit columnar mesophase behavior. The mesomorphic properties of the compounds have been studied with the help of polaralizing optical microscopy (POM) and differential scanning colorimetry (DSC) experiments.
