Synthesis and Characterization of Schiff’s Base Compounds with Octadecylaniline as End Group

Article Preview

Abstract:

The liquid crystalline compounds viz, N-(p-n-decyloxybenzylidene)-p-n-octadecyl aniline, 10O.18, N-(p-n-octadecyloxybenzylidene)-p-n-octadecylaniline, 18O.18, (p-n-biphenylbenzylidene) -p-n-octadecylaniline, PB18A and terephthalyidene-bis-p-n-octadecylaniline, TB18A have been synthesized for the first time and the characterization is carried out using thermal microscopy (TM) attached with a hot stage and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). All the four compounds exhibit a variety of phase variants such as isotropic to smectic-F (Iso-SmF) in 10O.18, isotropic to smectic-F (Iso-SmF) in 18O.18, isotropic to smectic-A to smectic-B (SmA-SmB) in PB18A and isotropic to smectic-C to smectic-I to smectic-F (Iso-SmC-SmI-SmF) in TB18A.
