Abstract

Cyanothyl‐subsituted cylohexyl cyclohexanoates, bi(cyclohexanes) and phenyl cyclohexanes were synthisized. Their mesmorphic behaviour is compared to that of the corresponding cyano derivatives. (Cyanoethyl)cyclohexyl cyclohenxanoates show mesmorphic properties in contrast to the corresponding cyano derivative. Separation of the cyano substituent from the rigid core of an anisotropic aliphatic compound by methylene groups enhances the thermodynamic stability of the mesophase. In aromatic compound, the cyanoethyl group leads to lower clearing points. These phenomena are attributed to teh influence of steric effects on the packing density and to the dependence of the clearing point on molecular association.

We report here uniform and defect-free homeotropic alignment of nematic liquid crystal having negative dielectric anisotropy (ΔΡ<0) on cleaned substrates, which can be changed to bright state (homogeneous alignment) by applying an electric field. However, non-uniformity in the bright state would not
