Calamitic bisazobenzene liquid crystal series: synthesis and mesomorphic properties of 1-methoxyalkyloxy-4'-(4-phenylazo)azobenzene.
A new series of calamitic liquid crystal materials with bisazobenzene moieties as a core has been synthesised and characterised by spectroscopic methods. The mesomorphic properties were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, optical polarising microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The presen...
