Abstract
According to a new design strategy for "de Vries-like" liquid crystal materials, we report the synthesis and characterization of an organosiloxane mesogen with a 5-phenylpyrimidine core that forms SmA and SmC liquid crystal phases. This new material is characterized by a maximum layer contraction of 1.2% upon SmA-SmC phase transition and is comparable to the best "de Vries-like" materials reported heretofore.
