Abstract
In this paper we report the mesomorphic behaviour of anhydrous N-4-hexadecylpyridinium chloride (HDPCI). DTA, X-ray and optical studies show that HDPCI exhibits smectic A phase above 76°C. Existence of lamellar phase in the mixtures of HDPCI and water, is reported using X-ray and optical studies.Keywords
