Two series of symmetric ester liquid crystals (nAFBHQ and nADFBHQ) with lateral fluorine atoms have been synthesized. Their chemical structures were measured by FTIR, 1H NMR, and elemental analysis (EA). Their mesomorphic properties were investigated by d

A large number of laterally fluorinated 4-n-alkyl- and -alkoxy-phenyl 4'-n-alkyl- and -alkoxy-bezoates and 4-n-alkylphenyl trans-4'-n-alkyl- and -alkoxy-cyclohexane-1-carboxylates were synthesised.In these compounds, the lateral fluoro-substituent was situated in either the phenol or the carboxylic acid moiety of the molecules for the benzoate esters, but only in the phenol moiety for the trans-cyclohexane-1-carboxylate esters.The nematic thermal stabilities for the fluorophenyl bezoate and trans-cyclohexane-1-carboxylate esters and the fluorobenzoate esters were compared with those for the corresponding non-fluorinated analogues.A nematic thermal efficiency order was derived for the 4-n-alkyl-fluorophenyl 4-n-alkylbezoate and trans-4-n-alkylcyclohexane-1-carboxylate esters, but only in the case of the latter esters, which were extensively examined, was the smectic tendency of the system investigated.Explanations are given for the observed nematic and smectic thermal stabilities of the titled esters, and some of their physical properties are discussed.
