Abstract

Abstract Three new ferrocene-based compounds were prepared which formed liquid crystalline phases in the melt, as follows: 1,1′-bis(p-heptoxyphenyl)ferrocene dicar-boxylate, I; 1,1′-bis(p-decycloxyphenyl)ferrocene dicarboxylate, III; and 1-(p-decyloxyphenyl)-1′-(p-hydroxyphenyl)ferrocene dicarboxylate, IV. All three were characterized for their liquid-crystalline properties by polarized light microscopy, DSC and wide-angle X-ray diffraction.
