Abstract

The bent-shaped tetra dentate Schiff's base ligands N,Nprime-bis [5-(4prime-n-alkyl)phenylazosalicylidene] alkyldiamine H2L(n = 12) based on 1,1-, 1,2-, and 1,3-diamines viz., urea, diaminomaleonitrile, 1,2-phenylenediamine, and 4-nitro-1,3-phenylenediamine with the following molecular structure: where B is the bridging group 1,1-diamine ex: urea; and 1,2-diamine ex: diaminomaleonitrile and 1,2-phenylenediamine and 1,3-diamine ex: 4-nitro-1, 3-phenylenediamine were synthesized and characterized. All the compounds exhibit liquid crystalline properties.
