3-phenylene bis(4-butyloxy-benzylideneamine) was synthesized. Using the analytical methods of nuclear magnetic resonence
ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy
mass spectroscopy
polarized optical microscopy
differential scanning calori-metry and laser light diffraction experiment
the synthesized banana-shaped liquid crystal material was characterized in detail. The results demonstrated that the banana-shaped liquid crystal molecules were able to assemble themselves into organic groove-free gratings which could be diversiform defined structures with a periodic modulation of the birefringence index. Despite the gratings were groove-free
helium-neon laser diffraction experiment showed that the self-organized optical gratings by the banana-shaped liquid crystal molecules exhibited the same diffraction patterns as classically ruled gratings.
