Synclinic and anticlinic properties of (R,S) 4′-(1-methylheptyloxycarbonyl)biphenyl-4-yl 4-[7-(2,2,3,3,4,4,4-heptafluorobutoxy)heptyl-1-oxy]benzoates

ABSTRACTFour racemic mixtures were synthesized and characterized. Their mesomorphic properties, such as phase transitions temperatures and enthalpies, were measured by a polarizing optical microsco...
