We report the synthesis and physical properties of four novel bent-core compounds, containing an azo linkage and alkyl terminal chains. It is found that, except for the lowest homologue, all the materials are liquid crystalline, exhibiting columnar or tilted polar smectic phases. In one of the compounds a reversible photoinduced variation of the spontaneous polarization of the antiferroelectric state was observed.
