Abstract
A paramagnetic chiral smectic C material has been studied by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) for the first time. EPR, in conjunction w ith differential scanning calorimetry and optical microscopy, provides information about the molecular arrangements in the different phases. The spectra of a chiral smectic C liquid crystal copper(II) complex d erived from a chiral Schiff base are discussed, which reveal polymorph ic transformations that may be related to the asymmetry of the chiral molecules.
