| Abstract: | To develop novel oligothiophene‐based liquid crystals involving hydrogen bonding, new terthiophene derivatives containing a stearylamide group, N,N′‐distearyl‐5,5″‐dicyano‐2,2′∶5′,2″‐terthiophene‐4,4″‐dicarboxamide (DNC18DCN 3T) and N,N′‐distearyl‐5,5′‐dipropyl‐2,2′∶5′,2′‐terthiophene‐4,4″‐dicarboxamide (DNC18 DP3T), were designed and synthesized, and their thermal behavior examined. Although DNC18DP3T did not exhibit liquid crystallinity, DNC18DCN3T was found to form smectic A phase. |
