Abstract

In continuation with our work on liquid crystals with unconventional molecular structures, two homologous series that have 1, 4-disubstitution and 1, 3, 4-trisubstitution in the central phenyl ring, such as 2 [(4-n-alkoxy-benzyloxy) phenyl azomethine]-5-methyl thiazole and 2- [(4-n-alkoxy-benzyloxy)-2-hydroxy salicyladimine]-5-methyl thiazole, have been synthesized. They have been characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, 1HNMR, ...
