Abstract
The synthesis and liquid crystal properties of eighteen members of the homologous series of henyl-4-yl-trans-4-alkylcyclohexane-1-carboxylat es are reported. The compounds are low melting nematogens possessing a moderately wide N-I range and have refractive indices comparable with that of fused silica. Because of these properties the compounds may h ave a potential use as additives to mixtures for the TN mode or in app lications where nematogens with a uniquely low refractive index ale re quired.
