Three series of chiral compounds with semifluorocarbon chains have been synthesized. These compounds were characterized by infra-red spectra (IR), 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), 19F nuclear magnetic resonance (19F NMR), mass spectra (MS), and elemental analysis. Their phase-transition behavior was investigated by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and polarizing optical microscopy. To a certain compound, ...
