Liquid Crystalline behaviour and Chemical Structure • Molecular structures play an important role in determining the phase, transition temperatures, optical and electro-optical properties of liquid crystals.
• Many liquid crystals have chemical structure represented as
• R is the side chain group, Z is the linking group and X is terminal group.

• R : Alkyl, alkoxy or alkenyl groups. The length and flexibility of side chain affect the phase transition temperature and the type of liquid crystal phase.
• A and B : Aromatic ring A and B may be same or different.
• Substitution over the rings by – CN, – F, – Cl polar groups change the dielectric properties of liquid crystals.

• Z : Linking group makes contribution to phase transition temperature and other physical properties.
• Linking group can be like, Ester (– CO–O–) , Ethylene (–CH2–CH2–), azo (–N = N–),
–CH=CH– help for delocalization or resonance
• X : Terminal group X, contributes to dielectric anisotropy. Groups: –CN, –OR, –R, –Cl

• Recording /Sensing temperature changes: • Thermotropic chiral LCs can be used as crude thermometers • Liquid crystal color transitions are used on many aquarium and pool thermometers. • Liquid crystal in fluid form is used to detect electrically generated hot spots for failure analysis in the semiconductor industry.
