Effect of Pyridine on the Mesophase of Teraryl Liquid Crystals: A New Series of Nematic Liquid Crystals Named 2-(4-Alkoxybiphen-4′-yl)-5-methylpyridines
A new series of teraryl 2-(4-alkoxybiphen-4′-yl)-5-methylpyridines (nO-PPPyMe, n = 3–8) nematic liquid crystal compounds, bearing a biphenylene core and a picoline terminus, were synthesized using a short two-step reaction, and overall yields between 34% and 38% were obtained. Spectral analysis resu...
