Abstract

The novel asymmetrical banana-shaped compounds – esters of 1,3-dihydroxybenzene and 4-substituted benzoic acids – have been synthesised. Dependent on the length of the molecular branches either B2 or B1 phase has been observed. The introduction of the polar substituent at one of the lateral fragments destabilises the mesomorphic properties.
