New Liquid Crystals: The Synthesis and Mesomorphic Properties of Nematic Alkenylsubstituted Cyanophenylcyclohexanes

18 Alkenylsubstituted cyanophenylcyclohexanes have been synthesized by systematically varying both the position and the configuration of the isolated C,C-double bond.The influences of such structural changes on the mesomorphic properties are discussed and
