Cobalt complexes of Co(3Cn) 2 (MeOH) 4 , derived from 3,4,5-trialkyloxybenzoate ligand (noted as 3Cn) with n = 10, 12, 14 and 16, were synthesized and characterized. The crystal of Co(1C 12 ) 2 (MeOH) 4 were determined by means of x-ray single crystal analysis. It crystallizes in the monoclinic P21/c space group with a = 24.3271(19) Å, b = 14.0058(11) Å, c = 6.4612(4) Å, a = g = 90 o , b = 94.368(4) o , and Z = 2. The phase texture and mesogenic properties were detected by polarized optical microscopic and powder x-ray diffraction technique. It was found that these compounds display the cubic phases. Differential scanning calorimetric data indicated that these compounds were nearly room temperature liquid crystalline and with a very wide mesogenic phase range.
