Abstract

Bent-core molecules with a linear alkyl chain in the bay position (anchor shaped molecules) form new liquid crystalline phases combining periodicities with different coherence lengths in distinct directions; in these LC phases the molecules are organized on average orthogonal in modulated layers (ribbons or patches) with restricted rotation around the long axis, thus representing modulated SmA_b phases.
