Synthesis and Mesogenic Properties of Liquid Crystals Based on Cholesterol and Cinnamic Acid Derivatives

A group of new mesomorphic compounds with cholesterol-based, which have derivative of the cinnamic acid, with different lengths of terminal alkoxy chains, are synthesized and characterized. The mesomorphic properties were investigated by DSC and POM. All target compounds showed a cholesteric phase. For 12-TC and 14-TC besides a cholesteric phase, also revealed a SmA* phase. The experimental results demonstrated that with the increase in the terminal chain lengths, the thermal stability of the smectic mesophases of these liquid crystals was increased, and these compounds shows brilliant color changes in the temperature ranges of cholesteric phase.
