Fig. 3.11. Molecular structures and phase sequences of the studied BC and calamitic nematics. I 4-chloro-l,3-phenylene bis 4-[4 -(9-decenyloxy)-benzoyloxy] benzoate (ClPbislOBB). II 4,6 -dichloro-l,3-phenylene bis[4 -(9-decen-l-yloxy)-l,l -biphenyl-4-carboxylate] (lODClPBBC). Ill 2,4-dichloro-5-[(4-decyloxy-l,l -biphenyl)carbon-yloxy]phenyl-4 -[(9-decen-l-yloxy)-l,l -biphenyl]-4-carboxylate (lODClPBCP). IV 4,6-dichloro-l,3-phenylene bis[4 -(10-undecen-l-yloxy)-l,l -biphenyl-4-carboxylate] (IIDCIPBBC). V 4-n-octyloxy-phenyl-4 -n-hexyloxybenzoate (6008). VI 4-pentyl-4 -cyanobiphenyl (5CB). The first batches of compounds I, II, IV and V were obtained from K. Fodor-Csorba (Institute for Solid State Physics and Optics, Wigner Research Centre for Physics, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest). Several new batches of compound I were provided by R. Twieg at Kent State University, Kent, OH. Material III was synthesized by R. Verduzco at Rice University, Houston, TX. Compound VI was obtained from BDH.
