Single crystal X-ray analysis has been carried out for the title compounds with different chiral groups, which result in different phase sequences: crystal (cryst.)-smectic G(SG)-SJ*-SF*-SI*-SC*-SA-cholesteric (chol.)-isotropic (iso.) for the 2-methylbutyl compound (1) and cryst.-SB-SA-iso. for the 1-methylheptyloxy compound (2). Each crystal has a smectic-like layer structure, in which the molecular tilt angle is 25° in 1 and 15° in 2. Biphenyl moieties are almost coplanar and normal chains have all-trans conformations in both crystals. However, long chains of the chiral groups of 2 have twisted conformations and are arranged between layers. Relationships between the crystal structures and the mesophase behavior are discussed in terms of conjugation of the polar groups and overlapping of biphenyl moieties for the related compounds.
