Faya, V. published the artcileSC* and SC̃* phases in chiral non-symmetric dimesogens, Application of Ethyl 4′-hydroxy-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-carboxylate, the publication is Liquid Crystals (1996), 21(4), 485-503, database is CAplus.
The authors synthesized two sep. homologous series of chiral nonsym. dimesogens: these have a two Ph ring moiety bearing a terminal alkoxy chain linked via a methylenic spacer to a chiral three Ph ring mesogen which itself displays antiferroelec. properties. Depending on the parity of the number of carbons constituting the spacer, two kinds of mesomorphic behavior were found. When the spacer is even, various SC* phases (SC*A,SC*FI,SC*,SC*α) were identified without doubt, whereas when the spacer is odd, a tilted modulated phase (SC̃*) was observed and characterized. In each case, the authors study the effect of the length of the alkoxy chain at the end of the shorter moiety. The alternation of the mesomorphic behavior with the spacer parity was interpreted in terms of mol. shape, but the authors have also discussed the influence of some chem. parameters on the stability of the SC*A phase.
