Polyphilic molecules composed of a bent aromatic core, oligo(siloxane) units, and alkyl segments were synthesized, and the self-organization of these molecules was investigated. Most materials organize into polar smectic liquid crystalline phases. The swi

In conventional fluids the molecular dipole moments of the individual molecules cancel out, which leads to a macroscopic apolar structure. Directed molecular design using microsegregation and tailoring the molecular shape of compounds such as 1, can lead
