Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.63.1691

A series of N,N'-dialkanoyl-2,5,6-trimethyl-4-alkanoyloxy-1,3-benzenediamines has been synthesized.The mesophases appearing in the octanoyl to octadecanoyl derivatives adopt a schlieren texture and are transformed into isotropic liquids, with enthalpy cha
