Abstract
The paper presents some basic physical properties (static electric permittivities, refraction indices, density and viscosity) of 2-chloro-4-n’-alkylphenyl esters of 4-n-alkylbicyclo[2,2,2] octane-1-carboxylic acids (n’=7, n = 5 and 7) which are, at room temperature, nematics with a negative dielectric an-isotropy. On the basis of temperature dependence of the principal static permittivities ε‖(T) and e⊥(T) of the nematics, using the Maier-Meier equations, the angle between the dipole moment vector and the long axis of mesogenic molecules, the apparent molecular dipole moment square pl μ2app(T), and the nematic order parameter S(T) were determined.
