New series of ferroelectric substances with double bond in core exhibiting helix twist inversion

New series of ferroelectric liquid crystals derived form alkoxycinnamic acid containing chiral alkyllactate group was synthesized. All compounds have a wide temperature range SmC* phase at temperatures above 100 degrees C and high spontaneous polarization. Some of homologues exhibit spontaneous helix twist unwinding in the SmC* phase accompanied with the helix twist inversion.
