Abstract

2-Substituted-5-(p-substituted phenyl)-1, 3-dithianes (8), new liquid crystals, were synthesized. The mesomorphic properties of these compounds were compared with those of the corresponding 2-(p-substituted phenyl)-5-alkyl-1, 3-dithianes (9). The main difference found between these two liquid-crystal compounds was that some of 8 exhibited both monotropic nematic and smectic liquid-crystal phases but 9 exhibited only the monotropic ...
