Molecular structure and properties of FLC(S)-4-(1-methyloctyloxycarbonyl)phenyl 4-octyloxybiphenyl-4'-carboxylate and its mixtures

Abstract

Precise measurements of physical macroscopic properties such as temperature dependencies of the spontaneous polarization, the tilt angle and the electric permittivity were performed (S)-4-(1-methyloctyloxycarbonyl)phenyl 4-octyloxybiphenyl-4'-carboxylate and their mixtures. Some of these results as well as the results of DSC and X-ray studies were presented by us earlier. On based above and calculations of molecular structure of investigated compounds the aim of this work was to explain the ability for induction an anticlinic SmCA phase in bicomponent mixtures composed of these.
