Nematic Liquid Crystals with a Tetrafluoroethylene Bridge in the Mesogenic Core Structure
摘要:
A dramatic increase of the clearing temperatures of liquid crystals based on bis(cyclohcxyl)ethane 1 by 50 to 70 K can be achieved by the perfluorination of the central ethylene link. Conformational analysis indicates that this effect is due to the increased rigidity of the mesogenic core structure and to the suppression of conformers with a bent shape. Materials based on bis(cylohexyl)tetrafluoroethane 2 might play a crucial role as materials for the next generation of active matrix LCDs with reduced power consumption.

Stereoselective Acetalization for the Synthesis of Liquid-Crystal Compounds Possessing a <i>trans</i>-2,5-Disubstituted 1,3-Dioxane Ring with Saturated Aqueous Solutions of Inorganic Salts
for the synthesis of trans-2,5-disubstituted 1,3-dioxane derivatives, which are important liquid-crystal compounds, was developed. The acetalization reaction between aldehydes and 2-substituted 1,3-propanediols in the presence of acids gave the corresponding 2,5-disubstituted 1,3-dioxane derivatives with high trans selectivity (trans/cis = >96:<4), when the reaction was performed with saturated aqueous
