5-[[[2',5'-Bis[(4"-n-((perfluoroalkyl)alkoxy)benzoyl)oxy]benzyl]oxy]carbonyl]bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enes with short fluorocarbon segments were polymerized by ring-opening metathesis polymerization in THF at room temperature using Mo(CHCMe2Ph)(N-2,6-'Pr2Ph)(O'Bu)(2) as the initiator. Although hydrocarbon and fluorocarbon segments as short as three methylenic units each induce smectic layering in the corresponding 2,5-bis[4'-(n-(perfluoroalkyl)alkoxy)benzoyl]oxy}toluene model compounds, the polymers require at least eight and three, or five and four methylenic units in the hydrocarbon and fluorocarbon segments, respectively, to organize into smectic layers; polymers with shorter hydrocarbon and/or fluorocarbon segments are nematic.
