## Abstract The synthesis and the liquid‐crystal temperatures of sixty 4‐cyano‐2‐fluorophenyl and 4‐cyano‐3‐fluorophylen 4‐substituted benzoates are described. The nematic‐isotropic liquid transition temperatures of the most of these novel esters are only marginally lower than those of the correspo
