Abstract
A model nematic compound, bis(4-(4'-benzylorycarbonyloxybenzoyloxy)phenyl)adipate (1), has been dissolved in two different solvents (adipic acid dinitrile and hydroquinone dimethyl ether) which represent parts of the building blocks of the pure liquid crystalline compound 1 with two mesogen unit dipoles pointing in opposite directions and is obtained by a stepwise reaction using protective groups. The behavior of this LC model compound at the isotropic-nematic phase transition as a function of temperature at a given solvent volume fraction is in good agreement with the classical Onsager model for the entropic ordering of hard rods with increasing number density
