The diagrams of state of mixtures of 4-n-alkyloxybenzylidene-4'-n-butylanilines with 4-n- alkyl- and 4-n-alkyloxy-4'-cyanobiphenyls are studied. The mixtures form induced smectic phases of type SA, SB and SE. In all three smectic phases the thickness of the smectic layers agrees with the mean values of the molecular lengths. In most cases the induced SA phases do not show uninterrupted miscibility with the SA phases of the pure components. For instance, the system 40 • 4/8 CBP exhibits three separate SA phase areas. The maximum transition temperatures of the induced smectic phases increase with increasing chain length of the azomethines, but remain constant in case of the SA and SB phases or even decrease in case of the SE phases with increasing chain length of the cyanobiphenyls

Binary mixtures of 4-n-alkyl- and 4-w-alkyloxy-4′-cyanobiphenyls with homologous 4,4′-di-n-alkyloxy-azoxybenzenes exhibit the induction of a smectic phase. From some of the phase diagram it can be concluded that the induced smectic phases (ISP) are of the SA type, and this is probably true for all mixtures studied. The thermal stability of the induced smectic phases can not be correlated with the clearing temperatures of the single components, but a dependence on their ability to form smectic phases is very likely. It is postulated that mixtures of terminal polar and terminal non polar nematic liquid crystals are generally able to exhibit the induction of smectic phases.
