Abstract : A homologous series comprises of eight mesogenic hydrogen bonded liquid crystal (HBLC) referred as nBAO + 4BU BA are designed, synthesized and characterized. All eight mesogens in nBAO + 4BU BA series are subjected to spectral, thermal and optical characterization. Formation of hydrogen bond in the resultant compounds is evinced by FTIR study. All eight mesogens obtained in this series exhibits only nematic phase in their entire thermal spans which are coined as Nematogens. Essential characteristic studies carried out on these nematogens are Parachromatism as a function of temperature, phase transition temperatures,mesogenic thermal span and enthalpy involved during phase transition respectively.
