Abstract
Two series of steryl di- and tri-fluorobenzoate liquid crystals were synthe sized and their phase transition behaviours studied by DSC and thermal pola rizing microscopy. The results show that while para-fluorine substituents s tabilize the mesogenicities, meta-fluorine substituents slightly depress th e mesogenicities.
