Abstract

Abstract Non-symmetrically substituted four-ring achiral bent-core compounds with polar substituents, ie., chloro in the bent or transverse direction in the central core and cyano in the lateral direction at one terminal end of the molecule, are designed and synthesized. These molecules possess an alkoxy chain attached at only one end of the bent-core molecule. The molecular structure characterization is consistent with data from elemental ...
