摘要:

The phase diagrams for enantiomers and their racemic counterparts have been compared in order to determine the influence of chirality on re-entrant phenomena. It has been found that chirality affects the location of the partially bilayer SmAd and monolayer smectic SmA1 phase areas, while the position of the smectic X phase remains nearly unchanged. This result shows that the N-SmA phase transition is influenced by a molecular chiral discrimination effect. Moreover, in enantiomeric systems, a N* re1-N* re2 phase transition has been detected by DSC within the re-entrant nematic gap which is limited by the smectic Ad and the SmX phases. Based on preliminary data, the SmX phase seems to be either a weakly tilted SmC antiphase or an incommensurate orthogonal mesophase.
