X-ray and miscibility investigations on new compounds exhibiting wide range smectic Q phases

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/10587259508038708

Four new series of liquid crystals are presented. Six of the new chiral compounds which are members of three different series exhibit wide range SmQ phases while their respective racemates and shorter homologues show SmC_A, SmC and SmA phases. X-ray investigations on the SmQ phase of two compounds confirm its three-dimensional tetragonal lattice and show that the lattice parameter c can be both smaller or larger than the parameters a = b.
