Abstract

This paper presents the synthesis and mesophase properties of several homologous series of structurally related compounds in which the aromatic ring attached to 4′-alkyloxybiphenyl-4-ol was systematically changed. The homologues with achiral and chiral terminal groups were studied. New compounds forming both antiferroelectric and ferroelectric phases were obtained for pyridyl and phenyl derivatives.
