Abstract
A new series of ferroelectric liquid crystal materials having the methoxy group substituted in an aromatic ring of the mesogenic core has been synthetized and characterized. This electron-donor methoxy group makes the ferroelectric S∗c phase narrower in range and monotropic when compared to the series with the unsubstituted molecules, the values of the spontaneous polarization remaining unaffected.
