Investigation of mesomorphic properties of new 1,3,4-thiadiazolines (which are synthesised via many
steps in Scheme 1) was carried out in this study. These compounds are designed to have a heterocyclic
unit, a carboxylate linkage group and a polar ether chain at the end of the molecule adjacent to the
benzene ring, which enhance the dipolar interactions forces (varied from one to eight carbons) to
investigate the association properties of their phases. The structure of the target compounds and the
intermediates were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, mass and FTIR spectral techniques. Polarised
microscopic studies revealed that all the compounds in the series exhibited enantiotropic liquid
crystalline properties. This was further confirmed using
