Research data for article: Fluorination. Simple change but complex impact on ferroelectric nematic and smectic liquid crystal phases

Synthesis and characterization of a new materials showing a ferroelectric liquid crystalline phases.The stored dataset includes:1) publication in Journal of the American Chemical Society (manuscript and Supporting Information, pdf format ) - see also https://doi.org/10.1021/jacs.4c168022) Data (numerical and plots) for chemical characterization (NMR, HRMS) of the synthesised compounds (final and intermediates) 3) numerical data (ASCI) for optical birefringence measured vs. temperature 4) numerical data for the geometry optimisation and frequency calculation carried out using Gaussian 16 (formatted checkpoint files (.fchk) and the cube files generated for each structure)
