Abstract

Two mesogenic homologous series, 2-[4-(4-n-alkoxybenzoyloxy)-2-methylphenylazo]-naphthalenes (I) and 2-[4-(4-n-alkoxybenzoyloxy)-3-methylphenylazo]naphthalenes (II) with a lateral methyl group have been synthesized. Both series are purely nematogenic. The mesomorphic properties of both series are compared with each other and also with the properties of other structurally related series to evaluate the effect of the lateral methyl group on mesomorphism. The chiral nematic (N*) mesophase was induced in the system by doping with a derivative of naturally occurring chiral menthol.
