Synthesis and Mesomorphic Properties of 4,4'-Di-n-alkyl-bibicyclo[2.2.2]octanes

Abstract
The homologous series of di-alkyl-bibicyclo[2.2.2]octanes (methyl to octyl) was prepared. All homologues with the exception of the methyl compound show broad smectic phase ranges. For the pentyl homologue the smectic phase exists between 46 °C and 247 °C. X-ray investigations show a novel type of diffraction pattern.
