Abstract

Sept séries homologues dérivées de la structure 4-n-butyl N-(4′-n-alkoxy 4-benzoyloxybenzylidène) aniline ont été synthétisées en introduisant sur le cycle central un groupement hydroxyle en position 2 et des groupements nitro en position 3 ou 5. L′étude comparée des températures de transition permet de conclure que l′introduction du groupement hydroxyle aide à la formation de la phase mésogène et que le groupement nitro, bien que diminuant les plages de nématicité, peut conduire à l′obtention de cristaux liquides possédant un motif thermochrome.

Some new mesogenic compounds having lateral hydroxy and nitro groups

Seven homologous series derived from N-(4-(4′-n-alkoxybenzoyloxybenzyl-idene)-4-n-butylaniline have been synthesized by substituting the inner ring with hydroxyl and/or nitro groups. A comparison of the transition temperatures indicates that the hydroxyl group enhances the mesomorphic behaviour. In contrast the nitro derivatives are less nematogenic, but allows us to obtain liquid crystals containing a thermochromic unit.
