摘要：

Liquid crystals based upon bent-rod mesogens are of interest for the design of novel polar and/or biaxial phases. This study reports bent-rod mesogens containing a variable lateral dipole moment and the stability of their phases. X-ray crystallography suggests that the bent-rod and lateral dipoles produce antiparallel correlations of the mesogens.
