The terms 'liquid crystal' or 'liquid crystal display' (LCD) are well-known in the context of flat-screen televisions, but the properties and history of liquid crystals are little understood. This book tells the story of liquid crystals, from their controversial discovery at the end of the nineteenth century, to their eventual acceptance as another state of matter to rank alongside gases, liquids and solids. As their story unfolds, the scientists involved and their works are put into illuminating broader socio-political contexts

The crystal structures at room temperature of all the members of the series are now solved, showing the existence . At higher temperature, these compounds present a solid mesophase, defined as rotator, a liquid crystal phase and a liquid phase, all of them with a similar local arrangement.

The crystal structures at room temperature of all the members of the series are now solved, showing the existence of two polymorphic forms in the room temperature. crystal phase, different for short and long-chain members. Since some lead(II) soaps appear as degradation compounds in oil paintings, the solved crystal structures of lead(II) soaps can now be used as fingerprints for their detection by X-ray diffraction.
