Abstract
A trifluorobenzene derivative having a superior stability and a large positive dielectric anisotropy value and a liquid crystal composition containing the derivative are provided, which derivative is expressed by the formula ##STR1## wherein R is 1-10C alkyl and one --CH.sub.2 -- group or two not-adjacent --CH.sub.2 -- groups in the alkyl may be replaced by O and/or --CO-- and/or --COO-- and/or --CH.dbd.CH--, --A-- and --B-- are 1,4-cyclohexylene, 1,4-phenylene, pyrimidine-2,5-diyl or 1,3-dioxane-2,5-diyl, l and m each are 0, 1 or 2 and l+m.gtoreq.1, and Z.sup.1 and Z.sup.2 each are --COO--, --OCO--, --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --, --OCH.sub.2 --, --CH.sub.2 O--, --CH.dbd.CH-- or single bond and may be same or different.
