 Abstract: Nine members of the tetra-n-alkanoyloxy ellagic acid series, ranging from the octanoyl to hexadecanoyl were synthesized and studied by calorimetry and optical microscopy. The octanoyloxy and nonanoyloxy derivatives are not mesogenic, while the other homologues exhibit a highly organized birefringent enantiotropic mesophase. Of these the five members with the longest side chains exhibit in addition a monotropic optically isotropic, and consequently, a cubic mesophase. From miscibility studies it appears that this cubic phase, which we name CD, is different from other cubic mesophases previously identified in non-chiral thermotropic mesogens. This monotropic CD mesophase can be maintained at room temperature in a metastable state for several weeks.
 Abstract: Neuf termes de la série des dérivés tétra-n-alcanoyloxy de l'acide ellagique (de l'octanoyle à l'hexadécanoyle) sont synthétisés et étudiés par calorimétrie et microscopie optique. Les dérivés octanoyloxy et nonanoyloxy ne sont pas mésogènes, les autres termes présentent une mésophase thermodynamiquement stable, biréfringente et fortement organisée. Les cinq substances qui ont les plus longues chaînes latérales présentent, en plus, une mésophase métastable optiquement isotrope, donc cubique. D'après les observations de miscibilités cette phase cubique, que nous appelons CD, est différente des autres mésophases cubiques antérieurement identifiées dans les mésogènes thermotropes achiraux. Cette mésophase CD peut être conservée pendant plusieurs semaines à la température ambiante.
