Synthesis and Characterization of Bent-shaped Azobenzene Monomers: Guest-host Effects in Liquid Crystals With Azo Dyes for Optical Image Storage Devices

Six novel bent-shaped monomers were synthesized such as substituted/or non-substituted 1, 3-phenylene bis-{4-[(4-allyloxy) phenylazo] benzoate}(4a�c) and substituted/or non- substituted 1, 3-phenylene bis-{4-[3-(4-allyloxy-3-fluoro) phenylazo] benzoate}(4d�f) in which azobenzene moiet...
