The diacyl chloride monomer was synthesized by simultaneous transformations of both the carboxy and formaldehyde groups of 2-formyl-1,4-bis (4'-carboxybenzoyl) oxybenzene into acyl chloride and dichloromethyl groups respectively. The syntheses of the monomer (I) and the polymers were reported.展开更多

Aneven-odd effect was observed for samples with different size of the substituents on the mesogenends. The isotropization process was similar to that of main-chain polymers with rod-likemesogens. No crystallization was detected for specimens cooling down from their isotropic meltstate. However two of the samples may crystallize in cooling process directly from the liquidcrystalline state.展开更多

The substituents include alkoxy, alkyl, and cyano groups. The synthesis and the primary characterization of the liquid crystal phase of the monomers and the polymers are described. While some of the monomers give smectic textures the polymers are found to be nematic above their melting or glass transition temperatures. Interestingly the unsubstituted monomer and its polymer poly 2,5-di( benzoyloxy ) styrene are also liquid crystalline. The single crystal structure of one of the monomers is also discussed.展开更多
