Liquid Crystalline trans-4-(ω-Cyanalkyl)cyclohexylester and 4-(ω-Cyanalkyl)phenylestersThe synthesis of the title esters 1 and 2a-e (n = 0 - 3) and their mesomorphic properties are described. When the alkyl-spacer n between the polar CN-group and the cyclohexane ring of cyanalkyl-cyclohexylesters 1 is increased the difference of the clearing points between the phenylesters 2 and the cyclohexylesters 1 decreases to nearly zero. The reason of higher clearing temperatures of 2 is a dynamic conformational effect of ring inversion of cyclohexane in the ester 1 with two polar substituents at the ring.
