A new homologous series p(p'-n-alkoxycinnamoyloxy) benzylidene p''-n-amyloxyanilines has been synthesized and its mesomorphic characteristics has been studied.It is a high melting series and exhibites rich mesomorphism.The nematic-isotropic transition curve shows odd-even effect.The S-N transition curve rises in a smooth fashion enhancing the smectic mesophase range at the cost of nematic mesophase length as the number of carbon atoms increases in the alkyl chain.The nematic mesophase shows a threaded texture while the smectic mesophase exhibites a focal conic fan shaped smectic "A" texture.In this investigation a new homologous series of mesogens has been synthesized and its mesomorphic characteristics have been determined.
