MESOMORPHIC PROPERTIES OF 4-(1-METHYLHEPTYLOXYCARBONYL)PHENYL '-(3-ALKANOYLOXYPROP-1-OXY)BIPHENYL-4-CARBOXYLATES AND LUOROALKANOYLOXYPROP-1-OXY)BIPHENYL-4-CARBOXYLATES

Two homologous series: (S) 4-(1-methylheptyloxy-carbonyl)phenyl '-(3-a
lkanoyloxyprop-1-oxy)biphenyl-4-carboxylates and luoroalkanoyloxyprop-
1-oxy)biphenyl-4-carboxylaces were synthesized and their smectic phase
s and phase transitions were investigated using polarizing microscopy,
DSC calorimetry and miscibility methods. Mixtures with a broad temper
ature range of the antiferroelectic smectic C-A phase and phase seque
nce C-A-A-I or C-A*-CI-A-I were formulated.
