Abstract
A series of discotic dimers were synthesized in an attempt to obtain nematic discotic liquid crystal phases. Although initial target compounds were nonmesogenic, the incorporation of bulky groups adjacent to the ester bridge, in conjunction with peripheral chains of mixed length, were used to promote the formation of an enantiotropic nematic phase.
