Abstract

The mesophasic properties of S-alkylthiohexonolactones ( d-galactono- and d-mannono-) and the corresponding itol derivatives with general formula Su- SR (R = C 11H 23) have been investigated. The observation that the synthesized compounds of this series has been studied using crossed polarized optical microscopy. This study involves the discovery of new chiral Smectic A liquid crystal phase through direct comparison with the defective texture of known Smectic A phase of available commercially biphenyls 8CB and 10CB.
