The molecular and crystal structures of two p-(alkoxybenzylidene)-p'-toluidines C{sub 5}H{sub 11}O-C{sub 6}H{sub 4}-CH=N-C{sub 6}H{sub 4}-CH{sub 3} (1) and C{sub 8}H{sub 17}O-C{sub 6}H{sub 4}-CH=N-C{sub 6}H{sub 4}-CH{sub 3} (2), which form the nematic phase upon melting, is determined by X-ray diffraction. The geometry of the benzylideneaniline fragments in molecules 1 and 2 is actually identical. The crystal packings of 1 and 2 are characterized by the alternation of layers formed by loosely packed aliphatic fragments of molecules and layers of closely packed aromatic fragments. The packing in the aromatic regions of 1 follows the parquet pattern. The crystal packing of 2 has a stacking structure, which is formed by {pi}-stacking dimers superimposed on one another. The formation of the mesogenic phase upon melting of crystals 1 is due to the disturbance of the structurality of loose aliphatic layers with retention of the structure of the aromatic regions, which are stabilized by the cooperative effect of weak directed C-H ... {pi}-system interactions. The mesogenic phase of crystals 2 is formed upon melting as a consequence of the retention of the structure of {pi}-stacking dimers.
