Abstract:ChemInform Abstract The basic correctness of the "bent cylinder binding site" model for packing in the smectic C* phase and its usefulness for stereochemical assignments are demonstrated. This recently proposed model for the molecular origins of the ferroelectric polarization P observed in chiral, layered, tilted liquid crystal phases such as smectic C* phase states that doping of a chiral compound (the guest) into a achiral (or low-polarization) C phase (the host) will afford orientation of the guest molecule… Show more
