Hf. Li et al., Synthesis and mesomorphic properties of 4-((4-n-alkoxy-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenyl)ethynyl) phenyl methoxy-substituted benzoates, CHIN J CHEM, 19(5), 2001, pp. 509-514
Two series of 4-methoxybenzoate liquid crystals were synthesized. Their pha
se transition temperatures were also measured by texture observation in a p
olarizing microscope and confirmed by DSC. Their mesomorphic properities an
d fluoro-substitute effect were studied in detail.
