A series of self-organizing bent-core derivatives 1[12,n], containing a highly π-delocalized stable radical as the central angular structural element, is described. The planarity of the open-shell core permits efficient π-π stacking, which results in the formation of B2 and soft crystalline phases above 100 °C. Optical, XRD and dielectric analyses of 1[12,12] indicate that the ground state of the observed B2 phase is polar antiferroelectric of type SmCAPA exhibiting tristable electro-optical switching. SQUID and EPR measurements revealed strong antiferromagnetic spin-spin exchange interactions below the isotropic phase, which have been estimated at θ = -46 cm-1 with the Curie-Weiss law. Transient photoconductivity was observed in the B2 phase with a hole carrier mobility μh of 1.4 × 10-4 cm2 V-1 s-1

2,2′-Bipyridines are known to coordinate to a wide variety of metal centres. In this paper, liquid-crystalline two-chained (dicatenar), four-chained (tetracatenar) and six-chained (hexacatenar) bipyridines are synthesised and their mesomorphism is described. For the tetracatenar bipyridines, a full homologous series, from tetramethoxy to tetratetradecyloxy, was synthesised, and the phase diagram showed a classic progression from nematic and smectic C phases at short chain length, through a cubic phase to a columnar phase.
