Abstract
Several esters and ethers of pentaerythritol have been prepared. Four of them, containing each a 1,4-trans-disubstituted cyclo-hexane unit a nd three hydroxyl functions, emerge as examples of a novel type of the rmotropic, intermolecularly hydrogen bridge-supported multiol mesogens exhibiting the smectic A phase. A new case of a heteroatom effect pre venting mesophase formation by causing stable intramolecular hydrogen bonding situations will also be discussed.
