The mesogenic behavior and electronic properties of hydrogen bond ferroelectric liquid crystal (HBFLC) complex are studied using experimental and theoretical techniques. HBFLC complex is synthesized from mesogenic 4-hexyloxy benzoic acid (6O BA) as the proton donor and nonmesogenic chiral DL-tartaric acid (DLTA) as the proton acceptor through intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Molecular geometry of DLTA+6O BA HBFLC complex is optimized by density functional theory (DFT) calculation. An interesting observation is that polarizing optical microscope (POM) study confirms that the HBFLC complex exhibits thermochromic behavior in chiral nematic (N ∗) along with induced nontitled smectic G* phases. Another noteworthy observation is the manifestation of tripartite temperature stages. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis elucidate the intermolecular hydrogen bond between mesogenic (6O BA) and nonmesogenic (DLTA) compounds. Further, frontier molecular orbital (FMO) study and electrostatic potential (ESP) analysis explore the reactivity sites, intermolecular charge transfer and electronic behavior of HBFLC complex.
