📖 Mesogenic cinnamates with substituted ethyl tail..

This book is very helpful to know the liquid crystal compounds for MSc Chemistry students and research scholar. Terminal groups present in a molecule have their own importance because of their polarity. It has been found that terminally substituted compounds exhibit more stable mesophases than do un-substituted mesogenic compounds. Any terminal group, which increases the molecular polarizability, without significantly increasing the molecular breadth, increases the thermal stability of the resulting mesophase.
