Abstract

Abstract Various laterally fluoro-substituted benzonitriles have been prepared containing a trans-4-(n-alkyl) cyclohexane ring linked to the 4-position of the benzonitriles either through a methyleneoxy ([BOND] CH 2 O–) or an ethylene ([BOND] CH 2 CH 2-) bridge. The bridging group links the benzonitrile and cyclohexane rings either directly or through an additional 1, 4-bonded cyclohexane or benzene ring. The synthesis and liquid-crystal transition ...
