Abstract
Two homologous series with the terminal oxime group are synthesized to evaluate the effect of the oxime group on mesogenic properties of the system. It is observed that oxime formation eliminates the smectic mesophases exhibited by parent homologous series. The nematic phase exhibited by mesogens has higher thermal stability because of intermolecular H-bonding.
