Abstract

Laterally cyano-substituted terphenyls of formula (I), wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are independently selected from hydrogen or C.sub.1-15 alkyl, alkoxy, or alkyl or alkoxy in which one or more CH.sub.2 groups are replaced by O, COO, OOC, CHX, CX.sub.2, CH=CX, CX=CH, CX=CX, where X is fluorine or chlorine. CRCN where R is alkyl, or C.tbd.C or in which a terminal CH.sub.3 of the said alkyl or alkoxy chain is replaced by CF.sub.3, n is 0 or 1, and the CN and F (if present) substituent are independently located in any of the available substitution positions. Liquid crystal materials containing these terphenyls are also described.
