Self-assembly of bent-core liquid crystals: formation of a modulated smectic phase with p2gg lattice to escape anticlinic tilt

Abstract

A new silyl terminated bent-core mesogen was synthesized which shows a randomly tilted SmCR phase and a columnar phase with p2gg lattice as new modes of self-assembly in this class of compounds.
