| Abstract: | The liquid crystalline behavior of compounds 1 (n = 7, 12, 15) differs significantly from that exhibited for conventional rodlike molecules. They organize into layered smectic, bicontinuous cubic or hexagonal columnar mesophases depending on the temperature or the volume fraction of coil segments. |
