Abstract
In a previous publication [1] we showed that chiral aryl esters of 4-alkyl-3-chlorobiphenyl-4-carboxylic acids form smectic C phases at low temperatures and over wide temperature ranges. Continuing our interest in ferroelectric liquid crystalline compounds we have synthesized new aryl esters of 4-(6-alkylcyclohex-2-enon-3-yl)benzoic acids and investigated their properties.
