Liquid Crystal Dimers

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Structure and Bonding ((STRUCTURE,volume 95))

Abstract

A liquid crystal dimer is composed of molecules containing two conventional mesogenic groups linked via a flexible spacer. These materials show quite different behaviour to conventional low molar mass liquid crystals and in particular their transitional behaviour exhibits a dramatic dependence on the length and parity of the flexible spacer. In this review a comprehensive overview of the relationships between molecular structure and liquid crystallinity in dimers is provided. This includes a description of the novel modulated and intercalated smectic phases exhibited by dimers.
