Abstract

Abstract A series of 3, 4-difluorophenyl trans-4′-substituted cyclohexane-1′-carboxylates, which show nematic phases, was prepared and their transition temperatures, enthalpies and entropies were measured. 3, 4-Difluorophenyl and 4-fluorophenyl trans-4′-n- pentylcyclohexane-1′-carboxylates were mixed separately with a nematic mixture A consisting of trans-4-n-alkyl-1-(4′-cyanophenyl) cyclohexanes. 3, 4-Difluorophenyl trans- ...
