Abstract

Abstract: The influence of the central linkage on the mesomorphic and electrooptical behavior of diaryl structures with low-temperature nematic potential is examined. The nematic to isotropic transitions for a wide variety of diaryl structures exhibit a parallel behavior for center linkage variation within a homologous series. NO corresponding parallelism for the crystal to nematic transitions is present. The relative ordering of nematic ...
