Abstract
The mesophases of eleven chiral Schiff bases are identified by miscibility examinations, using the contact method. Some of these compounds exhibit medium pitch (2-3 μm) chiral smectic C mesophases with left-handed twist which are thermodynamically stable near room temperature. Some binary mixtures having thermodynamically stable ferroelectric (C∗) state at room temperature are described.Keywords
