In recent decades the display techniques using liquid crystal compounds have been greatly advanced and become prevalent in our daily life. In particular, since the discovery of ferroelectric smectic C* liquid crystals by Meyer, the concept of the ferroelectric liquid crystals has much accelerated the synthesis and the engineering of those material. Now their theoretical, physicochemical and electro-optical properties for the practical applications are rather well documented. Even if, to the organic chemists point of view, the structure-property relationship in this field has been the first choice to be studied, however, the accurate prediction of properties for a new compound is not possible yet. In this context we had particularly studied the structuremesomorphic property relationship of the liquid crystals, such as A, B and C, with diarylpyridazine core and terminal units of a chiral R* and a long chain R, as shown below. Herein the chiral mesogen R*, (S)-2-methylbutyl, and alkyl chains of 6-12 carbons were used as terminal units.
