Two homologous series of carborane-containing dioxanes 1[n] and 2[n] (n = 1-10) were prepared and their mesogenic properties investigated. All compounds exhibit nematic behavior and three members of series 2[n] show an E phase. Numerical analysis of the clearing temperatures gave a limiting value T NI(∞) of 89 °C for series 2[n] and indicated conformational flexibility of the dioxane ring. Investigations of three-ring derivative 1[4] gave Δn = 0.17, S = 0.53, and Δε = +0.4 ± 0.1 at 85 °C. Extrapolation of dielectric data for dilute solutions of 1[4] in 6-CHBT gave Δε = +0.4 ± 0.25 at 24 °C. Modelling of dielectric results with the Maier-Meier equation demonstrated that conformers with a higher β angle are preferred, which is consistent with conformational selection for the most elongated conformers.
