Effect of Lateral Fluorine Substituent on Mesophase Behavior of Bent-shaped Molecules with Asymmetric Central Naphthalene Core
Novel lateral fluorinated bent-shaped molecules based on 1,7- and 1,6-naphthalene central core are prepared. Their mesomorphic properties are discussed in comparison with those of conventional unsubstituted bent-shape molecules.
