The paper presents six homologues series of Schiff bases ether compounds distinguished by the length of terminal alkoxy groups which substituted on a side benzene nucleus. The above structures were demonstrated through the use of spectroscopic techniques, like FT- IR and 1H-NMR. Polarized hot stage optical microscopy was used to study both mesomorphic properties and phase transitions. The results showed that out of the six compounds only three (B2, B3 and B4) were pure (marble) nematic mesophase, while no liquid crystal properties for (B5, B6 and B7) compounds. The theoretical study for the electronic structures was intended to study the effects of alkyl chain length on the electronic structure by using Gaussian program, DFT and 6-31G as basis set. The theoretical results indicate that there is no effect to the terminal substituted alkoxy groups on the HOMO energies but there is an effect on LUMO energies through decreasing energy for the prepared compounds.

4-Cyano-1,1'-biphenyl derivatives bearing ω-hydroxyalkyl substituents were reacted with methyl 3-chloro-3-oxopropionate or cyanoacetic acid, giving liquid-crystalline linear malonates and cyanoacetates. These compounds formed monotropic nematic phases at 62 °C down to ambient temperature upon cooling from the isotropic liquid. The mesomorphic properties were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, polarizing optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction (WAXS).

Mesomorphic three-coordinate copper(I) complexes ([Cu(BTU)2X], where X = Cl or Br) based on a new N-benzoylthiourea (BTU) ligand with two decyloxy and one perfluorooctyl groups at its periphery were designed and prepared. The BTU ligand coordinates via the S atom in a neutral monodentate fashion as confirmed by IR and NMR spectroscopy data. The liquid crystalline behavior of these copper(I) complexes was investigated by a combination of polarized optical microscopy (POM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), while their thermal stability was studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). These new copper(I) complexes have mesomorphic properties and exhibit a hexagonal columnar mesophase over a large temperature range, more than 100°C.

The synthesis and liquid-crystalline properties are reported for novel naphthyl-based diketones incorporating variant terminal chains and lateral fluoro- substitution. Newly prepared materials exhibit a broad temperature range of the nematic phase. The study demonstrates how subtle structural modifications can be exploited to alter the efficiency of molecular packing and consequently the thermal behaviour.

We present the synthesis and mesomorphic properties of the new series of bent-core liquid crystals based on 3-hydroxybenzoic acid bearing a lateral substituent in the apex position. Four different substituents of various sizes and electronic properties have been used. We have found that only compounds substituted with fluorine are mesogenic and exhibit one mesophase, whose type differs when prolonging the terminal alkyl chain. For homologues with shorter alkyl chains (octyl, decyl), a columnar B1-type of a mesophase was observed, while materials with longer terminal chains (dodecyl, tetradecyl) exhibited a switchable lamellar SmCAPA phase. Calorimetric measurements, texture observations under a polarizing microscope were performed and electro-optical properties studied. Additionally, dielectric measurements were realized to characterize the molecular dynamics in the SmCAPA phase. All mesogenic compounds were further studied by X-ray measurements to confirm phase identification and obtain more information about their structural parameters.
