Abstract
Mesogenic cholesteryl carbamates, liquid crystals synthesized in Organic Chemistry laboratory of the Faculty of Science,
University of Pitesti, were studied using FTIR-ATR spectroscopy. Urethanic and carbonyl group frequency from cholesteryl
carbamates was obtained by the use of an attenuated total reflectance (ATR) attachment on FTIR. The data was ATR
corrected. In addition, spectral data was obtained with a KBr transmission technique on FTIR. After advanced ATR
correction the band shift to lower frequency in the C=O and NH stretch of carbamates are reduced.
