Two series of symmetrical liquid crystal twins possessing a chiral centre at the inner side of the molecules were synthesized and characterized. Structural effects on the mesomorphic and physical properties were investigated in terms of (a) variation of carboxylate and thioester groups linking the spacer and core, (b) variation in achiral chain length between two mesogenic units. The mesomorphic investigation reveals that these compounds exhibit a BP, N*, SmA* and SmC* mesophase sequence for the BDPNP series, and a SmA and SmC* sequence for the ABPNTP-n series. The Ps values were measured and a largest of 38.5 nC cm-2 was observed for ABPNTP-12. |
