Various laterally fluoro-substituted benzonitriles have been prepared containing a trans-4-(n-alkyl)cyclohexane ring linked to the 4-position of the benzonitriles either through a methyleneoxy (-CH2O-) or an ethylene (-CH2CH2-) bridge.The bridging group links the benzonitrile and cyclohexane rings either directly or through an additional 1,4-bonded cyclohexane or benzene ring.The synthesis and liquid-crystal transition temperatures of these new compounds are described.In several cases the nematic-isotropic transition temperatures of F-substituted benzonitriles are found to be higher than those of the non-laterally substituted analogues.
