摘要
A new achiral five-ring banana-shaped mesogen is presented which has a cyano substituent in the 4-position of the central core. Microscopical, X-ray, dielectric and electro-optical investigations give evidence for the unusual phase sequence B-2, SmC, SmA. The B-2 phase shows an antiferroelectric switching behaviour; the spontaneous polarization was found to be 330 nC cm(-2).
