Abstract
1,1'-Disubstituted ferrocene-contg. thermotropic liq. crystals I and II, which differ in the orientation of the ester function included in the rigid org. part, were synthesized and their liq. crystal properties examd. These latter were strongly dependent on the orientation of the connecting ester group and on the alkyl chain length. [on SciFinder(R)]
