Abstract: ABSTRACT Cholesteric and smectic mesophases in six new unsymmetrical bent-shaped dimers were reported. The homologous series contain a bent-core mesogen and cholesterol mesogenic unit connected through a flexible pentamethylene spacer. The thermodynamic behaviour and liquid… read more here.
