Smectic Phases Exhibited by Dissymmetric Liquid Crystals: Mesomorphic Properties of Liquid Crystals Having a Lateral Long Alkoxy Group
Source abstract
Abstract
This paper describes the liquid crystalline properties of 4-(4-alkoxyphenoxycarbonyl)phenyl 3-alkoxy-4-nitro- and 4-alkoxy-3-nitrobenzoates (alkoxy = n-C n H 2n+1 O, (S)-2,7-dimethyloctyloxy, or (R)-1-methylheptyloxy). These compounds tend to exhibit a smectic C(C*) phase, and the layer structures of the smectic phases studied by an X-ray diffraction examination are discussed in terms of the molecular structure.
