R. Vilcu et al., Thermodynamic peculiarities of substances having liquid crystals properties 3. Cholesteryl and cholestanyl quinaldinates, REV CHIM, 52(1-2), 2001, pp. 11-13
The behaviors of two new synthesized liquid crystals represented by chinald
inates were characterized by consecrated thermal methods (TM and DSC). The
thermal methods were conjugated with some structural methods, like RMN and
IR spectra. From the experimental transition temperatures at different cond
itions, the enthalpies and entropies of transition were calculated. The exp
erimental results for different applied conditions were discussed comparati
vely.
