Abstract

Abstract Two phase diagrams of a six-ring double-swallow-tailed compound are presented where the mixing components involve electron-acceptor compounds. In the mixed phase region, nematic, smectic A and C, cubic and columnar phases are induced. In this way transitions between lamellar, cubic and columnar phases can be realized by variation of the con- centration. The mesophases occurring in these systems have been characterized by X-ray investigations.
