Abstract
Two new banana-shaped mesogens have been prepared and their mesophases have been studied. As indicated by calorimetry and polarizing microsc opy both compounds exhibit two smectic mesophases. The structure of th ese phases have been studied by X-ray methods and NMR measurements. Th e electrooptical properties are discussed on the base of the structura l data.
