Abstract
The homologous series of mesogenic (S)-4″[n-(perfluoroalkanoyloxy)hexyl-1-oxy]-4-(1-metylheptyloxy-carbonyl)terphenyl compounds exhibiting low temperature, wide range, near orthoconic antiferroelectric phase has been synthesized [ 1 Kula, P. , Dabrowski, R. , Kenig, K. and Chyczewska, D. 2006. New antiferroelectric compounds from chiral terphenyls. Ferroelectrics, 343: 19–26. [Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] [Google Scholar] ]. Compounds of the homologous series differ from each other by a position of a single fluorine atom substituted at the phenyl ring of the molecular rigid core. This affects the mesogenic behavior. Moreover, the molecular dipole moment of the compound as well as the physical parameters of the antiferroelectric phase are changed. The importance of the molecular dipole moment orientation and magnitude for the mesogenic behavior and physical parameters of the orthoconic antiferroelectric phase is discussed.Keywords
