Liquid crystalline Schiff-base (M) with a cyanate terminal group was p
repared and characterized. Subsequent cyclotrimerization of compound M
brings together three cyanate terminals to form a s-triazine ring and
produces a large molecule, ir; with three-fold symmetry. The mesophas
e transition temperatures of T are higher than M. The s-trisine ring s
erves appropriately as central core of the mesogenic trimer, T.
