In a continued effort to synthesize materials which exhibit nematic behavior at room temperature, homologous p- alkylcarbonato- p- alkoxyphenyl benzoates were prepared. Of the 48 compounds that were synthesized 27 exhibited enantiotropic and 14 manotropic nematic properties while only 7 were not liquid crystalline. One binary mixture of anantiotropic derivatives had a nematic range of 27 to 73 C while a ternary mixture exhibited nematic behavior between 24 and 76 C. In addition, seven other mixtures had crystal to nematic transition temperatures below 30 C.
