11. While mesogens with this type of side-by-side dimer structure have not been reported previously, there is extant literature and current active interest in metal-containing FLC structures bearing side-by-side mesogenic units: Baena, M. J.; Barbera, J.; Espinet, P.; Ezcurra, A.; Ros, M. B.; Serrano, J. L. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1994, 116, 1899-1906.

13. The phase identification for compounds 1 was corroborated by observation of a large electroclinic effect in well-aligned samples [Andersson, G.; et al. Appl. Phys. Lett. 1987, 51, 640] for the new materials in the A* phase. This useful behavior is remarkably similar to that observed for several "monomeric" analogs of structures 1 (Walba, D. M.; Dyer, D. J.; Shao, R.; Clark, N. A.; Vohra, R. T.; More, K.; Thurmes, W. N.; Wand, M. D. Ferroelectrics 1993, 148, 435-442).
