Lateral Cyano Substitution as a Tool for Tuning Negative Dielectric Anisotropy in High‐Birefringence Liquid Crystals

A series of 10 novel liquid crystalline compounds based on oligophenyl and tolane cores bearing laterally positioned cyano groups has been designed, synthesized, and systematically investigated. The molecular architecture was tailored by varying the number and position of lateral...
