Induction of a Ferroelectric SC Liquid Crystal Phase by an Atropisomeric Dopant Derived from 4,4‘-Dihydroxy-2,2‘-dimethyl-6,6‘-dinitrobiphenyl

We report the induction of a ferroelectric SC* phase in two SC liquid crystal hosts using a novel chiral dopant (−)-1 that incorporates an atropisomeric core derived from 4,4‘-dihydroxy-2,2‘-dimethyl-6,6‘-dinitrobiphenyl. The racemic dopant was synthesized in 11 steps with an overall yield of 9% and...
