Abstract

New series of liquid crystals with an alkyl-lactate chiral chain and four aromatic rings in the mesogenic core and chloro-substitution were synthesized. For all the compounds studied, SmA and SmC* phases, existing over very broad temperature ranges, were detected and characterized. Mesomorphic properties were analysed with respect to the lengths of the chiral and/or non-chiral chains.
