Synthesis and mesomorphic properties of new heterocyclic liquid crystals with Central Ester–Chalcone linkages

A series of new calamitic liquid crystals, 4-[3-(pyridin-4-yl)prop-2-enoyl]phenyl 4-alkyloxybenzoates, comprising a pyridyl core, ester–chalcone central linkage and terminal alkyloxy chain were synthesized and characterized. This series consists of four members that differ by the length of the alkyl...
