Abstract

The synthesis and liquid crystal properties of eight members of the homologous series of 1-(4′-n-alkoxy-2,2′,3,3′,5,5′,6,6′-octafluorobiphenyl-4-yl)-2-(trans-4-n-pentylcyclohexyl)-ethanes and eight members of the corresponding -ethanes, which have the E-configuration, are reported. These compounds are nematic, the ethenes having a considerably mesophase higher thermal stability than the analogous ethanes.
