Refractive index and density measurements have been carried out on three nO.m liquid crystalline compounds, namely, 4O.2, 4O.3 and 1O.10 belonging to the N-(p-n-alkoxybenzylidene)-p-n-alkylaniline series. From the data, the orientational order parameter has been estimated using Vuks and Neugebauer local field models. Furthermore, the orientational order parameter has been calculated directly from refractive index data employing the Vuks scaling factor method, Neugebauer f(B) parameter, effective geometry parameter and a method proposed by Kuczynski et al. It is observed that order parameter values estimated from different methods agree well near the nematic-isotropic transition and diverge as the nematic phase attains equilibrium. The temperature gradient of refractive indices and the nematic crossover temperatures have also been estimated for these compounds. The results obtained are compared and discussed.
