Abstract
Liquid crystals with negative ΞΟ΅ can be obtained by incorporating a cyano group in the terminal alkyl substituent or in an ethylene bridge between the cyclic units of the rigid core. The clearing points of such compounds are higher than those of the corresponding derivatives where the cyano group is laterally attached to a phenyl moiety. In compounds where both cyclic units of the rigid core are cyclohexyl, this type of substitution leads to an optimal contribution to Ο΅β in contrast to the cyanophenyl derivatives.

We report here uniform and defect-free homeotropic alignment of nematic liquid crystal having negative dielectric anisotropy (ΞΞ΅<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
## Abstract Cyanothylβsubsituted 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 corresp
