Abstract: ABSTRACT The synthesis and characterisation of 10 members of the [4[(E)-[4-[4-[ω-(4-cyanophenyl)phenoxy]alkyloxy]-3-nitrophenyl]methylideneamino]phenyl] 2,4-dimethoxybenzoates is reported in which the number of methylene units in the flexible spacer is increased from three to twelve. The mesogenic units are… read more here.
