Abstract
The synthesis and liquid crystalline properties of a new series of calamitic liquid crystals containing 4-H-benzopyran-4-one (chromone) within the central core is reported. The first homologue in the series display SmA phase (8a), the homologues (8b-e) exhibit SmA and SmC mesophases and the homologues (8f-h) exhibit only a SmC mesophase.
