A new series of achiral banana-shaped compounds ("Sn") has been synthesised and studied by the classical techniques (optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction and electro-optic investigations). The short homologues (S6,S7) present an intercalated smectic B6 and a two-dimensional B1 phase. The intermediate S8-S10 compounds only form a B1 phase while the mesophase of long homologues (S11-S16) is identified as a switchable smectic B2 mesophase.

Banana-shaped homologoues 1,3-phenylene bis{4-[(4-alkoxybenzoyl) sulfanyl]benzoate}, in short nOSOR, where n denotes the number of carbon atoms in the end chains, have been studied using dielectric and electrooptic methods. 9OSOR shows a ferroelectric B1
