Synthesis and mesomorphic properties of non-symmetric liquid crystalline dimers containing azobenzene groups

Four novel nonsymmetric dimers containing azobenzene mesogenic groups were synthesized. The nonsymmetric dimers compounds namely, ethyl 4-[(4-{4-(4-((4-nitrophenyl)diazenyl)phenoxy)alkyloxy}phenyl)diazenyl]benzoate were obtained from the alkylation of ethyl 4-[(4-(4-bromoalkyloxy)phenyl)diazenyl]ben...
