According to a new design strategy for de Vries-like liquid crystal materials, we report the synthesis and characterization of an organosiloxane mesogen with a 5-phenylpyrimidine core that forms SmA and SmC liquid crystal phases. This new material is characterized by a maximum layer contraction of 1.2% upon SmA-SmC phase transition and is comparable to the best de Vries-like materials reported heretofore. Copyright
