• nematogens were prepared following the recent optimised procedure [25], using the mono-protected diethynylbenzene derivative 4 as a key compound (Scheme 1). The peripheral aromatic units 5 were obtained by etherification of 4-iodophenol with the corresponding ethyl ω-bromoalkanoate [28]. Cross-coupling of
