Abstract: Two new mesogenic homologous series of naphthalene with different central linkages: (E)-naphthalen-2-yl 4-(4-n-alkoxybenzylideneamino)benzoate (I) and (E)-naphthalen-2-yl 4-(4-n-alkoxyphenylazo)benzoate (II) have been synthesized and characterized by a combination of elemental analysis and standard spectroscopic methods. In series I, all the twelve synthesized compounds exhibit mesomorphism. Methoxy to n-tetradecyloxy derivatives exhibit enantiotropic nematic mesophase. The SmA mesophase commences from n-pentyloxy derivative as an enantiotropic and persists up to the n-hexadecyloxy homologue synthesized. In series II, all the twelve synthesized compounds exhibit enantiotropic nematic mesophase. SmA mesophase commences from n-heptyloxy as monotropy and persist up to the n-hexadecyloxy homologous synthesized. The mesomorphic properties of present series were compared with each other and with a structurally related mesogenic homologous series to evaluate the effects of central linkage on mesomorphism.
