Abstract

In five double-swallow-tailed compounds a weakly birefringent high temperature phase occurs which exhibits a characteristic optical texture. On the basis of X-ray diffraction measurements on well oriented monodomains, the structure of this phase could be described by a rhombohedral lattice of space group R3c or R32/c; the lattice parameters are not far from a cubic lattice. In spite of the three dimensional superstructure with long range character, the lateral packing of the molecules is liquid-like - similar to the well known cubic mesophases.
