Zurowska, Magdalena published the artcileEffect of lateral fluorine substitution far from the chiral center on mesomorphic behaviour of highly titled antiferroelectric (S) and (R) enantiomers, Category: esters-buliding-blocks, the publication is Journal of Molecular Liquids (2018), 504-510, database is CAplus.
Several new liquid crystalline chiral ester enantiomers in the (S) and (R) configuration were designed and characterised. In order to tune their mesomorphic properties, the mol. core was laterally substituted by fluorine atoms in different positions on the benzene ring placed in the mol. core far from the chiral center. All the materials possess the self-assembling behavior, specifically the paraelec. orthogonal smectic A*, the ferroelec. tilted smectic C* and antiferroelec. tilted smectic CA* phases over a broad temperature range down to room temperature Properties of the materials were characterised by the polarising optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, electro-optics and dielec. spectroscopy. Due to high chem. stability, reasonably broad temperature ranges of polar smectic mesophases (up to 110 °C) and very high values of the optical tilt angle (40-45°) at saturation, these materials can be used as chiral dopants for the multicomponent orthoconic mixture design aimed for development of advanced electro-optic and photonic devices.
