Esters in the homologous series n-alkyl-4'-n-pentanoyloxy-biphenyl-4-carboxylates (n4COOBC, n=1-12) have been synthesized.Mesomorphic properties and phase transitions have been determined using polarizing hot-stage microscopy, DSC and x-ray.Phase transitions from SA-SB crystal and hexatic (tentatively) have been observed.The relationship between the incidence of hexatic phase and molecular structure has been discussed.
