Abstract

The synthesis, phase properties and electro-optical response of two new axially chiral organosiloxane liquid crystalline materials are presented. The materials form broad smectic A* phases extending below room temperature and exhibit large electroclinic effects at room temperature: a 20° tilt of the optic axis can be achieved with a field of 2 V μm−1.
