Synthesis and Mesomorphic Properties of Ferroelectric Liquid Crystals Bearing 5-Phenylpyrimidine Rings
Seventeen homologs of chiral 5-phenylpyrimidines were synthesized and their mesomorphic properties were evaluated with a DSC and a polarizing microscope.All compounds studied possessed an alkyl or alkoxy side chain at the p,p'-position of the 5-phenylpyri
