Abstract
p-(Alkoxybenzylidene)-p′-toluidines (ABTs) with 7, 8, and 10 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety have been studied by wide-line 1H NMR and DSC. The thermotropic properties of these compounds have been studied in the temperature range 20–80°C, including main mesomorphic transformations of ABTs. The 1H NMR line shapes, widths, and second moments, as well as specific features of their temperature-induced changes, are discussed. The DSC data are compared with the character of mesomorphic transformations and 1H NMR data. The formation limits and ranges and stabilities of liquid-crystalline states of the ABT structure emerging on heating are determined.
