Abstract

Novel liquid crystalline materials based on chiral calamitic 1,2,4‐ and 1,3,4‐oxadiazole derivatives were synthesized and their thermotropic mesomorphism investigated by polarizing optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. The structures of their smectic phases were investigated by X‐ray diffraction. The existence of ferroelectric properties in the smectic C phase was also studied.
