Synthesis and Characterization of Lateral Fluoro-substituents Liquid Crystals

Lateral difluoro substituent liquid crystal based on a three-aromatic core has been synthesized. It has been designed to correlate the molecular structure and mesomorphism with reference to the difluoro substituent and -COO- linkage group. This compound was characterized by elementary analyses and spectroscopic techniques such as FTIR and H-1-NMR. The synthesis compound's mesomorphic behavior was studied by polarizing optical microscope, differential scanning calorimetry, and dielectric measurements. The recent investigation reveals only SmB phase.
