Description
Summary:This paper presents the results of the study of four chiral mesogens with the acronym (4X1X2). The investigated compounds might be of interest for use as components of multicomponent mixtures useful in technical devices. The compounds have high chemical stability. Their mesomorphic properties were tested by means of polarizing optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. The helical pitch of the prepared compounds and mixtures was estimated using the selective reflection method. Their phase smectic layer structure and usefulness for formulation of multicomponent antiferroelectric mixtures were then reported.
