Three novel bent-core liquid crystal compounds (8, 9a and 9b) were prepared with a central bent core based on 2,5-disubstitueted-1,3,4-oxadiazole,ester group bridge (-coo-), alkyl terminal tails, and one side wing substituted by fluorine atom .The structures of the target compounds were confirmed by IR , 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, MS, and their transition temperatures and phase textures were investigated by using differential scanning calorimet -ric (DSC) and polarizing optical microscopy (POM).The result suggested that all target compounds had right c...
