Volume IV/7 "Liquid Crystals" is devoted to critically
selected and assessedfundamental data, mainly transition
temperatures, which characterize the existing liquid
crystalline phases and states of a large number of
compounds.
All relevant references including the very important patent
literature and data (1850-1991) were collected in the data
base LIQCRYST, from which the present Volume IV/7 has been
derived by and individual critical choice of compounds,
references and data.
The printed tables offer an overall picture of the liquid
crystalline field. Furthermore the comparision of
corresponding data and perhaps the elucidation of
structure-function relationships is facilitated, whereas the
data base allows a facile access to any substructure and
property search.
