摘要
Several new liquid crystalline compounds comprising Schiff's-base cinnamate cores and fluorocarbon alkoxy tails of varying lengths have been synthesized and characterized. The thermal properties of these materials are compared to those of their hydrocarbon analogues. The results show that fluorination stabilizes the crystalline phase, quite unexpectedly destabilizes the S-C phase, and for two of the compounds produces extraordinarily stable S-A phases.
