All these esters form thermotropic cholesteric liquid crystalline phases. The glass (<jats:italic>T<jats:sub>g<\/jats:sub><\/jats:italic>) and clearing (<jats:italic>T<jats:sub>c<\/jats:sub><\/jats:italic>) transition temperatures were determined. The stability interval of the mesophases appears to be greater in the case of longer\u2010linear side chains. The mesophases of APC, PPC, iBPC, VPC, and iVPC exhibit reflection bands in the visible region, at wavelengths that depend on temperature, moisture content, size and number of substituents, and degree of polymerization (<jats:styled-content>\n\\[\n\\overline {{\\rm DP}}\n\\]\n<\/jats:styled-content>). The pitch of the cholesteric helical structure increases with side chain length and with increasing temperature. At room temperature, a fingerprint\u2010like pattern can be observed for HepPc. No reversal in the sense of the pitch with temperature variations was observed.
