Abstract

Compounds for use in ferroelectric smectic liquid crystal mixtures of general formula (I), where R.sub.1 is alkyl, Y is COO or OOC, m, n and p are 0 or 1 provided m+n is 2 or less and when Y is OOC, p is 0, X is a mesogenic group, especially 4.sup.1 -alkyl- or alkyl-biphenyl or bicyclohexyl. Methods for preparation of these compounds are given, and ferroelectric smectic liquid crystal mixtures containing them are described.
