Popis:	The synthesis and mesomorphic properties of a variety of polyfluorinated alkylaryl-ethanes and-ethenes are reported. The number and position of the symmetrically disposed fluorosubstituents has been varied from six to four and the mesomorphic properties of the compounds are compared with those of the analogous octafluoro-substituted compounds previously reported. All the compounds are moderately low melting, mesomorphic and the type of mesophase formed is dependent upon the number and position of the fluoro- substituents. Increasing the number of fluoro-substituents from four, to six and to eight in a series of polyfluoro-alkylarylethanes decreases the mesophase thermal stability in a stepwise manner and eliminates smectic properties whilst retaining the nematic phase.
