Study of chirality in liquid crystals is one of the most interesting areas of liquid crystal science. Liquid crystallineterphenyls with two lateral fluoro substituent and alkyl substituent in the 4- have been synthesised. Convergentapproach was appli...

Cyanoalkyl difluoro-terphenyl-carboxylate chiral dopants (2012)
Journal Article
Kayani, Z. N., Lewis, R. A., & Naseem, S. (2012). Cyanoalkyl difluoro-terphenyl-carboxylate chiral dopants. Journal of Molecular Liquids, 170, 11-19. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.molliq.2012.03.018

A liquid crystal like difluoroterphenyl chiral dopant was synthesized to match the dimensions of a host chiral dopant mixture. The melting point of the chiral dopants was decreased by increasing the length of the alkyl chain. The melting point of the... Read More about Cyanoalkyl difluoro-terphenyl-carboxylate chiral dopants.
