短軸方向置換液晶化合物の合成と性質

抄録

Common liquid crystal compounds with short alkyl group show nematic phase and with long alkyl group show smectic phase. But, I have already reported that laterally alkyl or alkenyl substituted alkoxyphenylbicyclohexanes with short alkoxy group unusually showed smectic phase and with long alkoxy group showed nematic phase. In this study, laterally acyl or alkyl substituted alkoxyderivatives were synthesized. Their liquid crystal properties are discussed.
