Abstract

The influence of terminal substituents upon the nematic-isotropic transition temperature (Tc) within two series of compounds is studied. It is found that the anisotropy in the holarizability for the different CAr—X bonds, where X = F, Me, Cl, etc. shows a linear relationship with Tc in agreement with the molecular statistical theory of Maier and Saupe
