GEOMETRY AND MESOMORPHIC PROPERTIES OF NEW SCHIFF BASES CONTAINING THIAZOLE RING

Abstract

New liquid-crystalline azomethines – 2-(4-alkoxybenzylideneamino)-4-(3-nitrophenylamino)thiazoles – displaying nematic mesomorphism at 42 137°C have been synthesized. The structure of these compounds was studied by the MNDO LCAO MO method. A correlation was found between the geometric parameters and liquid crystal properties.
