The synthesis and characterization of the first eleven members of the 4′-(alkylthio)[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-carbonitriles, I [n = 1, 2, 3, etc.] was reported. All eleven members I showed monotropic liquid crystal behavior. The first six members were exclusively nematogenic, the seventh member showed nematic and smectic A phases and the higher homologues only smectic A behavior. A comparison of their transitional behavior with that of the corresponding alkyl and alkyloxy-cyanobiphenyls revealed a new pattern of behavior. Specifically, the nematic-isotropic transition temperatures showed a large decrease on passing from the methylthio to ethylthio homologues. This unexpected behavior was interpreted in terms of chalcogen bonding.
