Three new series of bent-shaped five-ring liquid crystals, based on the ester of isophthalic acid as the central core and azomethine linkages, are presented. They differ by the number and the position of halogeno substituents on the outer rings. This lateral substitution strongly influences the type of mesophases formed. Calculations were performed to determine the modification of the distribution of charge along the different molecules.
