Deviating from the molecular shape of rod-like ''classical'' liquid cr
ystalline compounds we synthesized substances of the general formula [
GRAPHICS] All compounds exhibit nematic behaviour. The chemical struct
ure of the linkage between the lateral aliphatic chain and the basic m
esogen is of influence on the clearing behaviour. By microscopic and D
SC investigations the phase transitions were studied.
