The formation of dimerized H-bond LCs was confirmed by IR spectroscopy, and mesomorphic properties of the LCs were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry （DSC） and polarizing optical microscopy （POM）. It was found that the end groups of the liquid crystals as well as the unsaturated rigid core had effect on the mesomorphic properties.展开更多

The presence of bromine atom from the propyloxy side chain is found to be capable of altering and influencing the mesomorphic properties.展开更多

Their phase transition behaviors were investigated by DSC and polarized optical microscope. The effects on the mesomorphic properties of different positions of the perfluorophenyl in the molecular core unit, the terminal cyano-substituted systems and the terminal nitro-substituted ones were discussed.展开更多
