Abstract

New liquid crystalline Y-shaped molecules containing 1,3,4-oxadizoles have been synthesized with variation of terminal groups (R = H, $OCH_3$ or $OC_8H_{17}$). The structures of obtained compounds were identified by FT/IR and NMR spectrometry, and their thermal and liquid crystalline properties were investigated by DSC and polarizing optical microscope.
