Abstract: Alkyl substituted 4-cyanoresorcinol 1,3-bisbenzoates with terephthalate based rod-like wings show a series of three orthogonal smectic phases SmA-SmAP(R)-SmAP(A).

“…Measurements of biaxiality have been carried out on a bentcore 4-cyanoresorcinol bisbenzoate with two terephthalatebased wings [25], with alkyl chain lengths of 8, 12, and 14. The chemical structure of these compounds is given in Fig.…”

“…1. We find that this material is the first compound where three different variants of the orthogonal SmA phase (SmAP A -SmAP R -SmA) exist and both SmAP A -SmAP R phases occur over a much broader temperature range and it is also the first example for a phase sequence where the latter occurs in between the two SmA phases: uniaxial SmA and biaxial SmAP A phases [18]. In the macroscopically uniaxial SmAP R phase, the primary director is orthogonal to the smectic layer plane.…”

“…Recently proper antiferro- [8][9][10][11][12] and ferro-electric [13] ordering has finally been discovered in orthogonal smectic phases composed of nonchiral bent-core molecules. Orthogonal bent-core smectics are the only proper fluid ferroelectrics completely confirmed experimentally so far.…”
