Abstract
Double swallow-tailed compounds are special cases of tetra-catenar mes ogens (mesogens consisting of a rod-like core and two half-disc shaped moieties), where the branches are not attached directly to the termin al rings. Experiments are reported in which the middle part of the cor e and the length of the terminal chains were varied. The resulting eff ects on the transition temperatures and phase behavior are described a nd trends pointed out.
