Trans-1,2-difluorostilbenes: Promising materials for high dielectric biaxiality ferroelectric mixtures

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/10587250108025062

A range of two- and three-ring liquid crystals have been synthesised that incorporate a trans-1,2-difluoroethene linking group. Some of the materials have surprisingly low melting points and high smectic C phase stability, and they exhibit the ideal phase
