Experimental and geometrical structure characterizations of new synthesized laterally fluorinated nematogenic system

New mesomorphic homologue series of laterally fluorinated azo/esters, 2-fluoro-4-((4-alkoxy)phenyl)diazenyl)phenyl 4-(alkoxy)benzoate (In/m), were synthesized and investigated their behaviour via experimental and computational tools. The prepared series bearing eight derivatives that differ from each other by the terminally attached alkoxy chain groups at their ends. Elemental analyses, FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy were carried out to elucidate...
