A new synthetic route for a crown ether containing liquid crystalline polymer will be presented. The polymer has been prepared using 1,4,10,13-tetraoxy-7,16-diazacyclooctadecene (diaza-18-crown-6-ether) and terephthaloyl-bis-(4-oxybenzoic) chloride. The mesogenic properties of the polymer have been examined using DSC, polarization microscopy and x-ray diffraction methods.
