	abstract = {<p>Triad based rigid mesogenic diols have been synthesized by four step synthesis method using protection-deprotection method. Hydroquinone and 4-hydroxy benzoic acid have been used as starting materials. Synthesized diols have been characterized by IR, H-1 and C-13 NMR, and mass spectroscopic methods. Thermal properties have been determined by thermo gravimetric analysis method and degree of crystallinity have been measured by wide angle X-ray technique. Substituted hydroquinones (methyl and chloro) have been used to study the effect of substitution on physical and thermal properties. Synthesis of rigid mesogenic diol monomer using p-hydroxy benzoic acid and hydroquinone is reported, which is a facile route. Hydrolysis of diacetate derivatives of rigid mesogenic diols is performed in good yields, even though two types of ester groups present in the same moiety, aromatic and aliphatic. The experimental results reveal that hydroquinone based rigid triad mesogenic diol have high thermal stability and degree of crystallinity as compared to methyl-and chloro-substituted rigid triad mesogenic diols.</p>},
