Four symmetrical diphenylnate liquid crystals were prepared and their structures were confirmed by FT-IR and 1H NMR spectra. Their liquid crystal properties were tested by differential scanning calo-rimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and hot stage polarizing microscop (POM). The crystal structure of IIIa was detemfined by X-ray single crystal diffraction techniques. IIIa is a monoclinic crystal system, space group P21/c with the unit cell parameters: a=18.525(3) Å, b=12.196(2) Å, c=12.195(2) Å, β=97.142(2)°, V=2733.7(9) Å3, Z=4, Dc=1.163 Mg/m3, R=0.0521, Rw=0.1161. The results showed that molecules lead thermotropic liquid crystals properties. The relations among the mesomorphism, oxygen atoms, terminal unsaturated bond, the flexible chain length were investigated.

Key words: diphenylnate liquid crystal, texture, thermotropic liquid crystal, crystal structure
