Yk. Agrawal et S. Rajput, STUDY OF MESOMORPHIC BEHAVIOR OF P-N-ALKYL (P'-N-ALKOXYCINNAMOYLOXY)BENZOATES, Journal of the Indian Chemical Society, 74(9), 1997, pp. 689-691
Twentyfour homologues of two new series, viz. p-n-amyl (p'-n-alkoxycin
namoyloxy)benzoates and p'-n-hexyl (p'-n-alkoxycinnamoyloxy)benzoates
have been studied for their mesomorphic behaviour. The mesomorphism Is
exhibited over a wide range of temperatures, The homologues exhibit p
redominantly smectic mesophase showing focal conic textures of smectic
-h variety, Few binary mixtures comprising homologues of the first ser
ies have also been studied.
