Unusual polymorphism in new bent-shaped liquid crystals based on biphenyl as a central molecular core

Bent-shaped mesogens possessing a biphenyl as a central core have been synthesized and the role of the terminal chain and the orientation of the ester as a linkage group have been investigated. For the studied molecular core we have established that both parameters play an important role for the mes...
