A series of azo type liquid crystalline crown ethers were synthesized using the intermediates of 4'-n-alkoxylbiphenyl-4-carboxylic acids and cis(trans)-4,4'-bis(4-hydroxyphenylazo)dibenzo-14-crown-4. Their structures and properties were characterized by elemental analysis, 1H NMR, UV-Vis, IR, MALDI-TOF-MS, DSC and polarizing optical microscopy with a heating stage. For compounds 4I and 4II, both melt-ing point Tm and isotropization temperature Ti were decreased with the increase of the carbon numbers of the end alkoxy groups. However, the temperature range of liquid crystal phase was relatively wide.
