Measurements of the spontaneous polarisation are presented on two commercially available chiral esters, both of which have a smectic ‘C’ phase. Experimental results for the spontaneous polarisation in chiral tilted smectic phases other than the SmC* are also included for one of the materials. It is shown that a dramatic difference exists in the ferroelectric properties of the two structurally very similar materials.
