The thermal properties of liquid crystals exhibiting a chiral smectic C phase
Abstract
The preparation and thermal properties of two series of compounds exhibiting a chiral smectic C phase, i.e., (S)-2-methylbutyl 4-(4-alkoxyphenoxymethyl)benzoates and (S)-4-(2-methylbutoxy)phenyl 4-(4-alkoxyphenoxymethyl)benzoates are reported.
