Synthesis and mesomorphic properties of resorcyl di[4-(4-alkoxy-2,3-difluorophenyl)ethynyl]benzoate: a novel achiral antiferroelectric banana-shaped mesogen

Two resorcyl di[4-(4-alkoxy-2,3-difluorophenyl)ethynyl]benzoate liquid crystals were prepared and their mesomorphic properties observed and measured. Achiral antiferroelectric phases were seen with increasing length of the hydrocarbon terminal chains.
