Properties of non-symmetric bent-core liquid crystals with variable flexible chain length

New non-symmetrical bent-core mesogens with a variable flexible chain length have been synthesised. The compounds were derived from 3-hydroxybenzoic acid, which is the central unit of the molecules. The tails on both ends were connected by ester functionality, one tail contains a terminal double bond and the other is saturated. The compounds represent novel non-symmetric molecules both in their core and tails. The main features of differential scanning calorimetry, polarising optical microscopy, electro-optical and polarisation current measurements for all studied materials indicate a transition between a single tilted synclinic ferroelectric and an antiferroelectric smectic phase.
