Synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of naphthalene-2,3-diyl bis-(3-benz-yl-oxy)benzoate.

In the title compound, CHO, the dihedral angles between the naphthalene ring system and its pendant benz-yloxy rings and are 88.05 (7) and 80.84 (7)°, respectively.

Leaning induced layer undulated tilted smectic phase of asymmetric bent-core liquid crystals.

We report the synthesis and experimental studies on the liquid crystalline phase of a homologous series of compounds comprised of strongly asymmetric bent-core banana shaped molecules. Our x-ray diffraction studies clearly indicate that the compounds exhibit a frustrated tilted smectic phase with layer undulated structure. The low value of the dielectric constant as well as switching current measurements indicate the absence of polarization in this layer undulated phase.

Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 3-({4-[(4-cyano-phen-oxy)carbon-yl]phen-oxy}carbon-yl)phenyl 4-(benz-yloxy)-3-chloro-benzoate.

The title compound, CHClNO, is a non-liquid crystal with a bent-shaped mol-ecule. The dihedral angles between adjacent aromatic rings in the mol-ecule (starting from the cyano-benzene ring) are 72.61 (2), 87.
