Synthesis of a novel antiferroelectric liquid crystal: Influence of biphenyl ester linkages on magnitude of spontaneous polarization

A novel AFLC compound, (S)-4-dodecyloxyphenyl-4-(2-methyl)-butyloxybiphenyldicarboxylate (DPMBBD), has been synthesized and its liquid crystalline behaviour is studied by thermal microscopy (TM), Diffrential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), spontaneous polarization (Ps) and response times (τ) measurements. The preliminary investigations on the ferroelectric properties of the present material imply the presence of an antiferroelectric phase (Sm-CA*) with a high magnitude of spontaneous polarization. Further, the molecular contributions towards the magnitude of spontaneous polarization in the antiferroelectric phase are discussed in the light of ester linkages of biphenyl moiety.
