Synthesis and property of liquid crystalline 4-alkoxyl-4″-cyano-p-terphenyls

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/10587250008031039

The synthesis of some new 4-alkoxyl-4″-cyano-p-terphenyls is described. The preliminary characterization by means of polarized optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction shows that all these compounds are thermotropically liquid-crystalline and can form both the nematic and smectic mesophases.
