2-(4-Alkoxybenzoyloxy)-5-alkylaminotropone and 5-alkoxy-2-(4-alkylaminobenzoyloxy)tropone liquid crystals showed the smectic C phase exclusively. Variable temperature FT-IR spectra indicated that intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the NH and tropone C=O groups assisted the appearance of the mesophase. 4-Alkoxyphenyl 4-alkylaminobenzoates were non-mesogenic.
