Novel liquid crystal materials (LCs) of low temperature range (53°C to 75°C) have been synthesized through a series of chalconyl derivatives consisting of two phenyl rings bonded through a –CH?CH?CO? central bridge to study the effect of molecular structure on LC properties in general and with a focus on molecular rigidity. The novel homologues series (C1 to C18) consists of thirteen homologues with general formula RO?C6H4?CH?CH?CO?C6H4?OC10H21(n) (meta). The C1, C2, C3 homologues are nonliquid crystals (NLC) and the rest of the homologues (C4 to C18) are either monotropic or enantiotropic liquid crystals. C4 to C6 homologues are enantiotropicnematic and the rest of the mesomorphic homologues are (C7 to C18) monotropicsmectic in addition to monotropicnematic character. Transition and melting temperatures including textures of homologues were determined by an optical polarizing (POM) microscopy equipped with a heating stage. Textures of a nematic phase are threaded or Schlieren, and that of the smectic phase are of the type Smectic A or C as judged directly from the heating top of the microscope. Thermal stability for smectic is very poor and of the nematic is (N-I) 69.3°C whose, total mesophase length ranges between 07.0 to 14.0°C at C8 and C4 homologues respectively.
