Antiferroelectricity and related chirality induced frustrations in smectic liquid crystals : effect of molecular structure

This work was devoted to synthesis of new antiferroelectric liquid crystalline materials in series of chiral I-methylheptyI4'-(4-n-alkyloxybenzoyloxy)biphenyl-4-carboxylates. 9 new types of materials were synthesised and their chemical, mesomorphic and electrooptical properties were investigate...
