Synthesis of Bent-shaped Azobenzene Liquid Crystals Derived from Resorcinol for Optical Storage Properties

The liquid crystalline and light-induced properties of resorcinol spacer based dimeric azobenzene were investigated. First, the compound was synthesized and elucidated the molecular structure by spectral analysis such as NMR, IR, and UV–VIS. polaring optical microscope studied showed that compound e...
