Abstract The synthesis and properties of individual liquid crystal oligo(cyclosiloxanes), , wherex=4−8 andR is a 4-methoxyphenyl-4-alkyloxybenzoate type of mesogenic group, is described. Preliminary results concerning the effect of ring size on the mesophase formation are included. X-ray diffraction studies have shown that the cyclosiloxanes form a smectic A1 phase.
