, p. 1818 - 1822 (2001)
The first achiral bent core banana-shaped mesogen consisting of a thermally and hydrolytically stable salicylaldimine (2-hydroxybenzylideneamine) mesogenic segment has been synthesized and evaluated for its liquid crystalline behavior. This novel compound

In the paper there are presented synthesis and properties of new banana-shaped molecules that are ester resorcinol derivatives. The compounds with lateral alkyl substituent at the 4-position of the resorcinol ring exhibit the liquid crystalline nematic phase. Some of the synthesised compounds are able to induce the anticlinic S*CA phase that proves their bent molecular shape.
