Abstract

This paper describes smetic properties of some liquid crystal materials incorporating a terminal trifluoromethyl, a trifluoromethoxy, or a difluoromethoxy group. These groups tend to promote the appearance of smectic A phase with a characteristic molecular arrangement, and the layer structure is discussed in terms of the physical properties of the molecules.
