The new Scyllitol hexaesters with cyclic fragments in lateral substituents of series 1 were synthesized and their thermo- and lyotropic properties (with various organic linear or cyclic solvents) have been studied. It was established that the presence of benzene fragments in the substituents of the scyllitol hexaesters (la-e) reduces the ability of the mesophase formation. The cyclohexane unit instead (sf. 1f) increases the thermostability of mesophase. While using above mentioned solvents a lot of cases of the induction of mesomorphic properties for non-mesogenic compounds of series 1 have been described. With cyclic solvents lyotropic mesophases were induced in binary mixtures of the hexaester 1a which showed mesomorphic properties neither under thermotropic conditions nor in binary mixtures with linear alkanes.
