Synthesis, Liquid Crystal Characterization and Photo-Switching Studies on Fluorine Substituted Azobenzene based Esters

A series offluorinated azobenzene esters have been synthesized and studied by polarized optical microscopy (POM) and UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The–CO2C2H5group with monofluoro-substituted azobenzene exhibited nematic and smectic phases whereas difluoro-substituted azobenzene showed only the nematic...
