title: Synthesis and properties of oxadiazole based V-shaped, shape persistent nematogens.
abstract: A series of biaxial V-shaped, shape-persistent molecules has been synthesised by stepwise coupling of phenylene ethynylene arms to an oxadiazole bending unit. Studies of their thermotropic nematic phases point to phase biaxiality.
