Synthesis and mesophase-transition behaviors of six 1,6-disubstituted pyrene-based hexacatenar liquid crystals 1(n) (n=8-18) are reported here. They were synthesized by the Sonogashira coupling between 1,6-diethynylpyrene and 2-bromothiophene bearing a trialkoxybenzoyl group. The phase-transition behavior was studied by differential scanning calorimetry and polarized optical microscopy; a few mesophase progressions, I-Col/I-X-Col and Col-Sm, were observed, where X was an optically isotropic but un-identified phase. The structures of Col(r), Col(h), and Sm phases were analyzed by the X-ray crystallography, and the effect of the terminal alkoxy chain length on the mesomorphism was evaluated.
