Hf. Li et al., Synthesis and mesomorphic properties of 4-[(4-n-alkoxy-2,3-difluorophenyl)ethynyl]phenyl fluoro-substituted benzoates, LIQ CRYST, 27(11), 2000, pp. 1445-1449
Three series of novel fluorinated liquid crystals containing a 2,3-difluoro
tolan unit have been synthesized. Their phase transition temperatures have
been measured by texture observation in a polarizing microscope and confirm
ed by DSC. The influence of the lateral fluoro-substitution is discussed.
