In this paper, nematic liquid crystalline materials and its mesogenic and physicochemical properties (mainly birefringence, dielectric anisotropy, and viscosity) will be discussed. The influence of number and position of fluorosubstitution on the ability of nematic phase formation in broad temperature range and on the value and sign of dielectric anisotropy will also be demonstrated.
