Abstract:
Novel chiral esters with partially fluorinated alkoxyalkoxy terminal chains are described. Their phase transition temperatures,
enthalpies, and electrooptical properties are reported. A helical pitch in pure compounds and their mixtures based on selective
reflection of light is also characterized.
