X-ray studies of liquid-crystalline phases of polycatenar substances Evidence for a rectangular columnar structure

Abstract The liquid-crystalline phases of two series of bi-swallow tailed compounds have been investigated using textural observations and X-ray studies. Besides nematic and smectic phases a new phase type has been observed. This is characterized by a rectangular columnar structure.
