Six benzoxazole-terminated mesogenic compounds with fluoro substituent at different
positions were prepared and their properties investigated. The compounds give a high …

ABSTRACT A series of nematic heterocyclic liquid crystals, 2-(2ʹ-fluoro-4ʹ-alkoxy-1, 1ʹ-
biphenyl-4-yl)-benzoxazole derivatives (coded as nPF (2) PBx) bearing hydrogen (nPF (2) …

ABSTRACT A series of tolane liquid crystals (LCs) containing 2, 3-difluorophenyl and
allyloxy terminal groups have been synthesised via multi-step reactions. Their thermotropic …

Two homologous series of the three-ring 4ʹ-(4"-alkoxy-2"-(or 3") fluoro phenylazo)
benzoates terminated with 2-(or 1-) naphthyl groups (I n d&e or II n d&e), respectively, were …

Fluorine is widely used as a lateral substituent to modify the physical properties of liquid
crystals. Here, laterally monofluorinated compounds, 2-(4ʹ-alkoxy-2-fluorobiphenyl-4-yl) …

In order to study the influence of lateral Br substitution on mesophase behaviour, five
homologous series of 4-substituted phenylazo phenyl 4ʹ-(3ʺ-bromo-4ʺ-alkoxyphenylazo) …

Molecular modification engineering is an important pathway to develop novel multifunctional
materials. In this work, we designed and synthesized compounds nN-1, nSN, nFN and nFSN …

Modifying the position and numbers of lateral fluorine substituent is a common method to
design and adjust the mesophase of liquid crystal compounds. Here, a series of 2-(2, 2ʹ …

A new heterocyclic mesogenic compound, 6-[4-(5-chloro-2-benzoxazolyl) phenoxy]-
hexanethiol (CBPHT), is designed and synthesized, which shows an enantiotropic SmC …

Fluorinated aromatics is generally chosen as mesogenic cores to design novel liquid crystal
compounds. Here, a series of benzoxazole derivatives with laterally multifluorinated …
