Abstract
Abstract The formation of thermotropic ionic smectic liquid crystals in binary systems of lithium and caesium acetates, propionates and butyrates has been discovered. Mesomorphism of mixed melts of non-mesogenic components results from the formation of complex anions. Correlations between anion mesogenic properties and its size, shape, anisotropy in the Coulomb charge distribution as well as the nature of the surrounding cations are discussed.
