The effect of the terminal linking atom on the appearance of twist-bend nematic and smectic phases
Two new series of dimers forming twist-bend nematic (N TB ) and smectic (SmC TB-SH ) phases are reported. The role of the linking atoms in the central spacer and terminal chains are investigated and compared to new members of previously reported series.
