One-Step Synthesis of a Liquid Crystal TB4A at Room Temperature

Article Preview

Abstract:

A rod-like liquid crystal (LC) N,N-(terephthalylidene) bis (4-n-butylaniline) (TB4A) was synthesized by one step at room temperature. The synthesized TB4A were investigated with nuclear magnetic resonance, fourier transform infrared spectrometer and ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, differential scanning calorimetry and polarizing optical microscopy. Our results demonstrated that the TB4A can form nematic, smectic A, smectic C, smectic F and smectic G LC phases.
