Abstrakt: Four homologues of 4-(trans-4-alkylcyclohexyl)-alkylbenzene were prepared and their liquid crystal properties were investigated. These homologues comprise an interesting and useful family of nematic liquid crystals with melting points below 0 °C. Eutectic mixture of these four compounds gave a stable nematic phase at temperatures between −22.8 and −50.2 °C.
