Abstract: Nine mesogenic compounds(I-Ⅲ, Ⅳa,b,Va,b,Ⅵa,b) with the structure of Lamino acid derivative, four L-amino derivatives (A1-4) and six mesogenic compounds (M1-6) were synthesized.The chemical structure of new compounds (I-Ⅲ,Ⅳa,b,Va,b,Ⅵa,b,A4and M3-6)were confirmed by IR, 1HNMR and elemental analysis.Their phase behavior was also investigated by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarizing microscopy, The resultis show that eight compounds(M3-6,Ⅳa,b,Vband Ⅵb) exhibit the liquid crystalline plase transtion temperatures,The specific rotation of the compounds was also determined.X-Ray diffraction had been used to investigate smectic structure of two compounds,the results show that compounds(Ⅳb,Ⅵb) exhibit SC*and SE*respectively.The hysteresis loop of Ⅳbwere determined, it is proved that Ⅵbdo have ferroelectricity.
