Popis: 2-R1-4′-R-4-(4-n-alkoxybenzoyloxy)azobenzenes, where R = n-butyl, methyl and methoxy, R1 = H and methyl and n-alkoxy = methoxy, ethoxy and n-butoxy were synthesized. They have long liquid crystalline “nematic” ranges and were used as stationary phases for the separation of positional isomers of di- and trisubstituted benzene. It was observed that lateral substitution (R1) on the middle ring has a profound influence on the relative retentions of these compounds. The separation of mixtures of free phenolic isomers such as m- and p-cresols was difficult, whereas the separation of α- and β-naphthols could be easily achieved. Similarly, the separation of mixtures of free bases such as toluidines or picolines was difficult, but naphtylamines were separated with great ease. Also, the complete separation of all positional isomers of monochlorobiphenyl was achieved by using these liquid crystalline substrates.
