Liquid crystalline products of oligomeric p ‐phenylenevinylene derivates were prepared metathetically using a stable molybdenum carbene complex (Mo(NAr Me 2 )(CHCMe 2 Ph)[OCMe(CF 3 ) 2 ] 2 ). The synthesis was conducted via two steps: 1. Metathesis polycondensation of 2, 5‐dialkyl‐1, 4‐divinylbenzenes to oligo‐(2, 5‐dialkyl‐1, 4‐phenylenevinylene)s, 2. Endcapping of the vinyl groups via cross‐metathesis using 3‐hexene. The products were characterized by 1 H‐NMR and UV/Vis spectroscopy, as well as by DSC.
