Abstrakt: Strong intermolecular interactions in crystalline 3-(4'butyl)- and (4-heptylphenyl)-7-propoxycoumarins, resulting in layered packing, prevent the formation of associates with high anisotropy of intermolecular interaction energy (IIE), so that on heating crystals of these homologs do not form a nematic mesophase. The formation of specific stacked associates in the crystal of 3-(4'-ethoxyphenyl)-7-nonyloxycoumarin favors the formation of thermomesophases. The observation of interactions responsible for the formation of a mesophase has made it possible to obtain dichroic luminophores, namely, substituted 3-aryl-7-aroyloxycoumarins, which possess a nematic phase over a wide temperature range.
