Banana-Shaped Compounds—A New Field of Liquid Crystals
Source abstract
Abstract
Banana-shaped compounds form several new smectogenic phases specific to this class. Several two-dimensional phases have been observed, and these can exhibit very complex and beautiful optical textures (see Figure). These phases are reviewed and their structures investigated by not only X-ray diffraction and nuclear magnetic resonance measurements, but also dielectric and electrooptical experiments.
