Four liquid crystals (LCs) compounds which contain the 1,3,4-oxadiazole group were synthesized and characterized with spectroscopic techniques (IR, H-1- and C-13 NMR), their thermal properties were analyzed by the Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and the polarizing microscope (POM). A comparative study of the mesomorphic properties of these LCs and three other compounds which have already been used as a stationary phase in gas chromatography (GC) was carried out. These compounds have the same main nucleus. LCs V1, LC1, LC2 and LC3 gave a nematic (N) phase to the heating, LCs V2 and V3 recorded smectic A (SmA) and N phases. However, the range (N) has disappeared in V4.
