Synthesis and physical properties of thioester liquid crystals that exhibit an anti-ferro-anti phase sequencing

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/10587250108025293

The thioester unit has been commonly used to enhance the mesophase thermal stability and phase range in numerous liquid crystal materials. In this paper we report the synthesis of a homologous series of thioesters with similar structures to AS620 {(S)-(+)
