-
New methods of synthesis of mesomorphic 4-n-alkyl- and 4-n-alkoxy-4'-cyanobiphenyls are developed, based on the palladium catalyzed highly selective reactions of 1,4-dibromobenzene with alkyl and aryl Grignard reagents.

- Thermal and Ferroelectric Properties of Novel Ferroelectric Liquid Crystals Containing α-Methylcinnamoyl Moiety in the Core Structure
-
Six homologous series of novel ferroelectric liquid crystals containing α-methylcinnamoyl moiety in the core structure: have been synthesized and their thermal and ferroelectric properties have been investigated.The mesomorphic transition temperatures and the spontaneous polarization for the homologous series (IA, IB, IIA, IIB, IIIA and IIIB) depend on the core structure, the chiral group, and the terminal alkoxyl chain length.These homologous series show the chiral smectic C phase over wide temperature ranges including room temperature and the values of their maximum spontaneous polarization are in the range of 30 to 800 μC m-2.The thermal stability of the mesophase and the magnitude of the spontaneous polarization have been discussed from the view point of the molecular structure and the local molecular interactions.

- SYNTHESIS OF 4-ALKOXY-4'-CYANOBIPHENYLS
-
A preparative method was developed for the synthesis of liquid crystals of the 4-alkoxy-4'-cyanobiphenyl group.It involves the nitration of 4-cyanobiphenyl to 4-nitro-4'-cyanobiphenyl, reduction of the latter, diazotization of the obtained 4-amino-4'-cyanobiphenyl, and alkylation of the 4-hydroxy-4'-cyanobiphenyl formed during decomposition of the diazonium salt.
