Popis: Various different crystal structures were found for four mesogenic diphenylpyrimidines with two chiral centres and these have been compared with the previously determined crystal structure of 2-{4-[(R)-2-fluorohexyloxy]phenyl}-5-{4-[(S)-2-fluoro-2-methyldecanoyloxy]phenyl}pyrimidine (1) which shows an isotropic mesophase. 2-{4-[(S)-2-Fluoro-2-methyldecanoyloxy]phenyl}-5-{4-[(R)-2-fluorohexyloxy]phenyl}pyrimidine (2) and 2-{4-[(R)-2-fluorohexyloxy]biphenyl-4′-yl}-5-[(S)-2-fluoro-2-methyldecanoyloxy]pyrimidine (3), which are isomers of 1 with different N positions, have a structure comprising L-shaped molecules with the chains associated between layers (MHPOBC-type) and a polar structure of stacked monolayers of parallel molecules, respectively. Two diastereomers, 2-{4-[(R)-2-fluorohexyloxy]phenyl}-5-{4-[(R)-2-butyloxypropanoyloxy]phenyl}pyrimidine (4) and 2-{4-[(S)-2-fluorohexyloxy]phenyl}-5-{4-[(R)-2-butyloxypropanoyloxy]phenyl}pyrimidine (5) with the same core as 1 but a different chain, have similar str...
