Abstract

The helical super structures can be formed if the direction of molecular bent alignment is disfavored. In banana mesogens, axis is found at ninty degree angle of the layer planes. Liquid crystal phase can be formed easily with bent core molecules having number of rings ranging from five to seven. It is observed that the existence of banana shape depends on various factors like conjugation, doplar moment and position of charges etc. The current paper characterize the banana shaped crystal and their assemblies.
