The Role of Substitution in the Apex Position of the Bent-Core on Mesomorphic Properties of New Series of Liquid Crystalline Materials

We present the synthesis and mesomorphic properties of the new series of bent-core liquid crystals based on 3-hydroxybenzoic acid bearing a lateral substituent in the apex position. Four different substituents of various sizes and electronic properties have been used. We have found that only compoun...
