Features of the molecular structure and crystal packing of the mesogenic compounds 3-hydroxy-4-propionylphenyl esters of 4-n-amyloxy (1), 4-n-hexyloxy (2), 4-n-heptyloxy (3), and 4-n-octyloxybenzoic acid (4) have been analyzed on the basis of X-ray diffraction (XRD) data. Comparison of the results of XRD and DSC studies of these compounds has shown that the crystalline modification studied for each of the compounds is not a precursor to the mesophase. The possibility of mesophase formation from the melt is discussed.
