Mesogenic cinnamates with substituted ethyl tail

More about the book

Focusing on the significance of terminal groups in liquid crystal compounds, this book serves as a valuable resource for MSc Chemistry students and researchers. It emphasizes how terminal substitutions can enhance the stability of mesophases, revealing that increased molecular polarizability, without a substantial increase in breadth, contributes to greater thermal stability. The text provides insights into the relationship between molecular structure and properties, making it essential for understanding liquid crystal behavior.
