A series of trans 1--2-methylethylenes, which show nematic phases, were prepared.Their transition temperatures, enthalpies and entropies were measured.The phase diagrams for their binary mixtures were made and the birefringences and flow-aligned viscosities were mesured.Five nematic mixtures were prepared to compare the properties of the ethylenes with those of other cyclohexyl-benzenes having other therminal groups.The 1-cyclohexyl-phenyl-2-methylethylenes have wide nematic ranges with high N-I transition temperatures and high birefringences.Their photochemical stabilities were tested.Keywords: liquid crystal, cyclohexane, ethylene, hydrocarbon
