Abstract

Two new phasmidic mesogens with an integrated indigo core have been synthesized and their thermotropic properties were investigated by polarization microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. Their surprising textural features are reminiscent of those known from some bent core mesogens. Common properties and differences are discussed.
