ferrocene deriv liq crystal polysubstitution effect
Abstract
The synthesis, characterization and mesogenic properties of a new family of 1,3-disubstituted ferrocene derivs. and of the 1st trisubstituted ferrocene-contg. thermotropic liq. crystals (here functionalized in the 1,1',3-positions) are reported. The results confirmed the importance of the org. segment length for promoting mesomorphism in disubstituted systems and revealed the strong tendency of polysubstitution for generating liq.-cryst. materials.
