Abstract
Two series of steryl di- and tri-fluorobenzoate liquid crystals were synthesized and their phase transition behaviours studied by DSC and thermal polarizing microscopy. The results show that while para-fluorine substituents stabilize the mesogenicities, meta-fluorine substituents slightly depress the mesogenicities.
