Mesogenic schiff base esters with terminal chloro group: synthesis, thermotropic properties and X-ray diffraction studies

A new homologous series of Schiff base esters comprising a terminal chloro substituent was studied. The chloro substituent contributes to the molecular polarizability, thus, affecting intermolecular interactions, hence, resulting in smectic polymorphism. The mesomorphic properties were studied using...
