                                    Two ester homologous series of mesogens, viz., Methyl-p-(p '-n-alkoxy benzoyloxy) cinnamates (X) and Methyl-p-(p '-n-alkoxy cinnamoyloxy) cinnamates (Y) being structurally similar are discussed. Both (X) and (Y) differ in respect of central bridges linking two phenyl rings. Only enantiotropic nematogenic character is observed without exhibition of any smectic character by all members of series (X) and (Y). Thermal stability of series (X) is relatively low as compared to (Y), but nematogenic mesophase lengths are of reverse order. Solid-nematic/solid-isotropic and nematic-isotropic transition curves in the phase diagrams behave in normal manner.
