K. Kanie et al., A facile synthesis and electro-optical properties of new liquid crystals having a vic-difluoro olefinic moiety, CHEM LETT, (11), 1998, pp. 1169-1170
A facile method for the difluorination of olefins was exploited and applied
to the synthesis of novel liquid crystals (LCs) having a vic-difluoro olef
inic moiety, The physical and electro-optical properties of these LCs were
compared with those of the corresponding parent olefinic LCs.
