Abstract
Ferroelectric liquid crystals are of interest for applications in seco nd order nonlinear optical experiments as they combine a thermodynamic ally stable polar structure with mobility. Low-molecular weight- (see Figure) and siloxane-fixed FLCs are reported which contain a donor-acc eptor pi system in a heterocylic ring which does not disturb the desir ed rod-like shape of the molecules.
