Bent-core liquid crystals: polar order, superstructural chirality and spontaneous desymmetrisation in soft matter systems
Abstract
An overview on the recent developments in the field of liquid crystalline bent-core molecules (so-called banana liquid crystals) is given. After some basic issues, dealing with general aspects of the systematisation of the mesophases, development of polar order and chirality in this class of LC systems and explaining some general structure–property relationships, we focus on fascinating new developments in this field, such as modulated, undulated and columnar phases, so-called B7 phases, phase biaxiality, ferroelectric and antiferroelectric polar order in smectic and columnar phases, amplification and switching of chirality and the spontaneous formation of superstructural and supramolecular chirality.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
