Abstract
A number of ether and ester derivatives of 1-(trans-4-n-alkylcyclohexyl)-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethane bearing lateral substituents on the phenyl ring are reported. Several of the novel compounds exhibit enantiotropic nematic phases at room temperature. All of the liquid crystals described are of negative dielectric anisotropy (-0.5 -3.5). The effect of lateral substituents on the liquid crystal transition temperatures of these ethanes has been studied.Keywords
