Description
Liquid crystals are self-organizing materials that have great potential for practical applications. The relationship "molecular structure - mesomorphic properties" has not been fully established and understood despite numerous studies. We discuss a relatively broad subclass of calamitic chiral lactic acid derivatives and provide specific examples of effective tuning of their mesomorphic and electro-optical behaviour using various types of lateral substitution placed on the molecular core.
