A new ferroelectric liquid crystalline compound, 2-butyloxycarbonyl)-P
heny-4-(4-dodecyloxycarbonyl) benzoate (6), has been synthesized by es
terification method. The DSC and optical microscopy studies reveals th
at the compound exhibit ferroelectric and smectic phases at lower and
higher temperatures respectively. The NMR & IR spectral studies have a
lso been carried out to verify the ester linkage.
