Structural moieties including core units (such as phenyl, naphthyl and thiophenyl), linking groups (such as ethynyl), terminal substituents (such as cyano, isothiocyanato and fluoro), and lateral fluoro substituents have been incorporated into novel mater

STR1 The invention describes liquid crystalline compounds or formula (I), where A, D and G are independently selected from phenyl, thiophene, hydrogenated phenyl, chlorinated phenyl and fluorinated phenyl, B and E are independently selected from a single bond C= C. C C.C00, azoxy and diazo, k and m are independently selected from 1 and 0, such that m+n is 1 or 2, and R1 and R2 are independently selected from R, R0, alkynyl, thioalkyl, hydrogen, CN, NCS and SCN; provided that at least one of R1 and R2 is selected from CN, NCS and SCN and that at least one of A, D and G is phenyl; and excluding where at least one of R1 and R2 is independently selected as CN and one of A, D or G is not thiophene, and where m is 0, A, and D are phenyl, B is a single bond and only one of R1 or R2 is NCS. Also described are compounds suitable for inclusion in a device utilizing pretransitional characteristics of liquid crystalline materials in the isotropic phase, of general formula (II) where J and Y are independently selected from phenyl, thiophene, hydrogenated phenyl, chlorinated phenyl and fluorinated phenyl, X is selected from C= C. C C.COO azoxy and diazo, k is 1 or 0 and R3 and R4 are independently selected from R, RO, alkynyl, thioalkyl, hydrogen, CN, NCS and SCN; provided that at least one of R3 and R4 is selected from CN, NCS and SCN and that at least one of J and Y is phenyl.
