Novel carbosilane liquid crystalline dendrimers based on 1,6-hexanediol were prepared. Using the precursors Gn-C1 (n = 1-3) with Si-C1 bonds on the periphery as dendritic scaffolds and 4-[4-(6-hydroxyhexyloxy)phen...
Ten chirai mesogenic compounds containing fluorinated alkyl terminal tails were prepared and characterized by IR, NMR, MS. The phase transition behavior was investigated by DSC and polarized optical microscope. Two-ri...
