Abstract
Abstract New decalin-carbonitriles of the formula I ##STR1## wherein R 1 is an alkyl group with 1-10 C atoms, it being possible for up to two CH 2 groups to be replaced by O atoms, Z is --CH 2 CH 2 --, --CO--O--, --O--CO--, --O--CH 2 --, --CH 2 O-- or a single bond, A is 1,4-phenylene, 1,4-cyclohexylene, 1,3-dioxane-2,5-diyl, 1,4-bicyclo(2,2,2)octylene, pyrimidine-2,5-diyl or a single bond, and R 2 is an alkyl group with 1 to 10 C atoms, it being possible for up to two CH 2 groups to be replaced by O atoms, or is F, Cl, Br, CN, --O--COR 3 or --COOR 3 , or, if at least one of the groups Z and A is not a single bond, can also be H and R 3 is alkyl of 1 to 6 C atoms, and the acid addition salts of basic compounds of this type, are suitable for use as components of liquid crystal dielectrics.
