Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>This paper describes the liquid-crystalline properties of alkyl 4-[2-(perfluorooctyl)ethoxy]benzoates (1) and bromo (2) and nitro (3) substituted compounds. For 1, the lower members show a smectic A phase; also the smectic A-isotropic transition temperatures and the latent heats decrease with increasing the carbon number of the hydrocarbon chain. An X-ray examination indicated that the smectic A phase has an interdigited arrangement of molecules. The results are discussed in terms of inter- and intra-layer fluorophilic interactions around the perfluorooctyl groups.</jats:p>
