## Abstract For the first five members of the homologous series of 4‐__n__‐alkyl‐4′‐cyanobiphenyls in the nematic and isotropic phases, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed by using a united atom model. An odd–even effect was seen to be found in the molecular length, width, biaxiality
