Binary Mixtures of 4-acetylpyridine and 4-n-alkyloxybenzoic Acids (4Ac.Py:nOBA): Investigations on Mesomorphism

Abstract The induction and stability of mesomorphism in new binary mixtures capable of forming intermolecular hydrogen-bonding (HB) interactions were investigated. The mixtures were prepared by treating 4-acetylpyridine, a nonmesogenic liquid, with mesogenic 4- n -alkyloxybenzoic...
