<p>2082800 9216519 PCTABS00016 The invention describes liquid crystalline compounds of formula (I), where A, D and G are independently selected from phenyl, thiophene, hydrogenated phenyl, chlorinated phenyl and fluorinated phenyl, B and E are independently selected from a single bond C=C, C=C, C00, azoxy and diazo, k and m are independently selected from 1 and 0, such that m+n is 1 or 2, and R1 and R2 are independently selected from R, R0, alkynyl, thioalkyl, hydrogen, CN, NCS and SCN; provided that at least one of R1 and R2 is selected from CN, NCS and SCN and that at least one of A, D and G is phenyl; and excluding where at least one of R1 and R2 is independently selected as CN and one of A, D or G is not thiophene, and where m is 0, A, and D are phenyl, B is a single bond and only one of R1 or R2 is NCS. Also described are compounds suitable for inclusion in a device utilising pretransitional characteristics of liquid crystalline materials in the isotropic phase, of general formula (II) where J and Y are independently selected from phenyl, thiophene, hydrogenated phenyl, chlorinated phenyl and fluorinated phenyl, X is selected from C=C, C=C, COO, azoxy and diazo, k is 1 or 0 and R3 and R4 are independently selected from R, RO, alkynyl, thioalkyl, hydrogen, CN, NCS and SCN; provided that at least one of R3 and R4 is selected from CN, NCS and SCN and that at least one of J and Y is phenyl.</p> |
