Abstract

Six azomethine polymers containing bent-core mesogen were synthesized with variation of a bent structure of central core (1,2-dioxyphenylene or 2,3-dioxynaphthylene), and a lateral halogen substituent (X = H, F or Cl ). The properties of the polymers were characterized by FT-IR, NMR spectroscopy, DSC, polarizing optical microscopy, and X-ray diffractometry.
