Synthesis and characterization of ferroelectric and antiferroelectric liquid crystals derived from (2S)-2-(6-hydroxy-2-naphthyl)propionic acid

A new series of chiral materials, hexyl(2s)-2-(6-(-4-(4′-alkoxyphenyl)benzoyloxy)-2′-naphthyl) propionates (HmPBNP; m = 6-18) had been prepared and their liquid crystalline properties were investigated as a function of alkyl chain length. These chiral materials exhibited novel ferroelectric Sc* and antiferroelectric ScA* phases and a propensity to the formation of the ScA* phase was found at longer alkyl chain lengths (m = 10, 12-18). An odd-even effect of the threshold voltage as a function of alkyl chain length for compounds HmPBNP (m = 12-16) possessing antiferroelectricity was observed. Spontaneous polarization and transverse dipole moment were also measured and are discussed in terms of the elongated alkyl chain length.

Synthesis and mesomorphic properties of low molar mass phosphorus derivatives

New liquid crystalline phosphorus derivatives were synthesized as a core model compound and/or a model compound of the component for semiflexible liquid crystalline polymers. Alkoxy, oligo ethylene oxide, or chiral moieties were introduced into the terminal group of rigid moiety in order to investigate the effect of the terminal group on the thermal properties of the phosphorus derivatives. A nematic phase appears for the phosphorus derivative with alkoxy moieties or oligo ethylene oxide chain, while a mesophase is observed for the phosphorus derivative with a chiral moiety. Some phosphorus derivatives were thermally stable until more than 300°C.

Biphenyl esters and liquid crystalline mixtures comprising them

Biphenyl esters of the formula STR1 wherein X is --CO--O-- or --O--CO-- and R1 and R2 each are alkyl or alkoxy of 1 - 8 carbon atoms, enlarge significantly the temperature range of the nematic phase of liquid-crystalline compositions without adversely affecting other properties.
