## Abstract For the first five members of the homologous series of 4β__n__βalkylβ4β²βcyanobiphenyls in the nematic and isotropic phases, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed by using a united atom model. An oddβeven effect was seen to be found in the molecular length, width, biaxiality

Abstract
Experimental results for the temperature dependence of the density of propyl β cyanobiphenyl (3CB), butyl β cyanobiphenyl (4CB) and hexyl β cyanobiphenyl (6CB) are presented. The results are compared with previous results for temperature dependence of other members of the alkyl cyanobiphenyl series (nCB). The deviation of the density from linear temperature dependence is discussed in terms of the recently discovered corresponding rule for nematic liquid crystals. (Β© 2009 WILEYβVCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
