The substances of the homologous series withn= 6, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18 were investigated by calorimetry and microscopy. In the lower members exist nematic, smectic A and smectic C phases, in the homologs withn= 16 and 18 appear phases of the type smectic D with cubic structure. The kinetics of these phase transitions, in which smectic D is participating shows a strong dependence upon the experimental conditions. Supercooling, as well as, overheating effects were found. In the supercooled state we could detect for the first time smectic phases, which are metastable with respect to another liquid crystalline phase (SD).
