We report the synthesis and characterization of trisiloxane-terminated liquid crystals with 2-phenylpyrimidine cores that form partially bilayered SmA and SmC phases. Variable temperature measurements of smectic layer spacings by powder X-ray diffraction
Liquid crystal compounds having a chiral fluorinated terminal portion

, (2008/06/13)
Fluorine-containing, chiral liquid crystal compounds comprise (a) a chiral fluorochemical terminal portion containing at least one methylene group and optionally containing at least one catenary ether oxygen atom; (b) a saturated, chiral or achiral, hydrocarbon terminal portion; and (c) a central core connecting the terminal portions. The compounds have smectic mesophases or latent smectic mesophases and are useful, for example, in liquid crystal display devices.
