A novel chiral liquid crystal
4'-(2-chloro-4methylpentanoyloxy) phenyl 2-cyano-3-(4'-n-dodecyloxyphenyl)propenoate (CMPPCDP) was synthesized.The compound was characterized using IR,
1H NNIR, elementary analysis.The liquid crystalline pliasc transition wasstudied using optical polarized micrography and differential scanning calorimetry.
