The disclosure relates to fluorinated chiral liquid crystals that incorporate a cyclohexyl grouping in their structure. They can be used as dopants and lead to mixtures of ferroelectric liquid crystals that have an application in display systems. They meet the following chemical formula. STR1 with 1≤n≤14 if X=CH2 Y=--CH2 -- with R=CmH2m+1 and 5≤m≤16 STR2

To establish more securely the influence of the -CH2O- inter-ring linkage upon the properties of mesogens of both high and low dielectric anisotropy, a range of ethers with the following general structure has been prepared and their properties examined. The thermal and electro-optic properties of the compounds are discussed, and comparisons made where possible with analogous materials incorporating the -CH2CH2- linkage.

Compounds of the formula STR1 wherein X2 is a single covalent bond or --COO--; X1 is a single covalent bond, --COO--, --CH2 CH2 -- or when X2 is --COO--, X1 also can be p--C6 H4 --, p--C6 H4 --CH2 CH2 --, --CH2 CH2 --p--C6 H4, p--C6 H4 --COO-- or --COO--p--C6 H4 ; ring A is a benzene ring or trans-1,4-cyclohexylene; ring B is a benzene ring or when X2 is --COO-- and X1 is a single covalent bond, --COO-- or --CH2 CH2 --, ring B also can be trans-1,4-cyclohexylene; Z1, Z2 and Z3 individually are hydrogen or when positioned on a benzene ring which is not linked directly with a further ring via a single covalent bond, Z1, Z2 and Z3 also can be halogen, cyano or methyl; Y2 is cyano, nitro, 2,2-dicyanovinyl or when Y1 is hydrogen Y2 also can be 2,2-dicyano-1-methylvinyl; Y1 is halogen, cyano, C1 -C3 -alkyl or, when X1 includes a benzene ring or --COO-- or Y2 is nitro or at least one of Z1 and Z2 is other than hydrogen, Y1 also can be hydrogen; and R1 is C1 -C12 -alkyl or when positioned on a benzene ring R1 also can be C1 -C12 -alkoxy, their manufacture and use in liquid crystalline mixtures are described.
