The syntheses and the mesomorphic properties of a series of novel 2,6-disubstituted naphthalenes are described. 4-benzonitriles 5 and 4-benzonitriles 8 exhibit wide-range nematic mesophases. 6,6'-Di(n-Alkyl)-2,2'-binaphthyls 6 have been isolated as by-products from the reaction mixtures of 5.Some of these novel compounds have polymorphic properties.The esters 13 and 15 of 4-(6-hydroxy-2-naphthyl)benzonitrile show enhanced mesophase stabilities which reach maximum values in the series of α,β-unsaturated esters 15.The 4-(n-pentyl)benzoate 14 of the same (hydroxynaphthyl)benzonitrile has a melting point of 125 deg and a clearing point of > 310 deg.This particular derivative belongs to those liquid-crystalline compounds having the broadest purely nematic-phase range.In addition, (RS)-4-(2-pentyl-6-chromanyl)benzonitrile (20) and three compounds with two and four laterally arranged CN groups at the bicyclooctene, bicyclooctadiene, and phenyl-ring systems 31-33 were synthesized.Only 20 shows mesomorphic properties.

Structural moieties including core units (such as phenyl, naphthyl and thiophenyl), linking groups (such as ethynyl), terminal substituents (such as cyano, isothiocyanato and fluoro), and lateral fluoro substituents have been incorporated into novel mater
