Nematic phase formed by banana-shaped molecules

Pages 429-436 | Received 01 Sep 2001, Published online: 06 Aug 2010
 

Abstract

Most mesogens formed by banana-shaped molecules exhibit liquid-like smectic phases. Here we present the synthesis and properties of homologous series of derivatives of resorcinol and 2,6-disubstituted pyridine. One of these classes of bent-core molecules displays the nematic phase.
