University of Baroda, Baroda-390 001 Manuscript received 13 June 1989, revised 5 December 1989, accepted 29 December 1989 The homologues of the new series n-butyl ρ-(ρ'-nʹ-alkoxycinnamoyloxy)benzoate exhibit mesomorphism over a wide range of temperatures. The overall series can be regarded as smectogenic as only two members exhibit nematic mesophase. The smectic-isotropic transitions show odd-even effect and the smectic mesophase
