Abstract
Two phase diagrams of a six-ring double-swallow-tailed compound are pr esented where the mixing components involve electron-acceptor compound s. In the mixed phase region, nematic, smectic A and C, cubic and colu mnar phases are induced. In this way transitions between lamellar, cub ic and columnar phases can be realized by variation of the concentrati on. The mesophases occurring in these systems have been characterized by X-ray investigations.
