Popis:	A novel homologous series α-4-[4′-n-alkoxy benzoyloxy] benzoyl-β-3″,4″-dimethoxy phenyl ethylenes has been synthesized and studied for liquid crystal (LC) properties to understand and establish the relation between molecular structure and liquid crystalline behavior. Twelve members of series were synthesized. All the members except first member of the series are mesomorphic. The hexyloxy to tetradecyloxy homologoues are smectogenic and nematogenic in character. The ethoxy to pentyloxy and the hexadecyloxy homologues exhibit only nematogenic character with the absence of smectogenic mesophase formation. An odd–even effect is observed for the smectic-nematic and the nematic-isotropic transition curves in the phase diagram. The smectic mesophase showed as either the SmA or SmC. The nematic mesophase shows a threaded or Schlieren type texture. Spectral and analytical data confirms the molecular structures of the homologues. The thermal stabilities for the smectic and the nematic are 115.6°C and 156.6°C. The s...
