Abstract
A carbon-[Formula presented] study in a series of bent-core (banana-shaped) molecules is reported. In 1,[Formula presented]phenylene bis[[Formula presented]alkenyloxy biphenyl]-4-carboxylate derivatives the position of the chlorine substitutent(s) connected to the central phenly ring and/or the terminal chain length of the compounds were varied. By analyzing the observed chemical shift anisotropies, the order parameters [Formula presented] and bending angles in their nematic phase are compared. The biphenyl moiety on each arm of the molecular core is found to form a nonzero twist angle.
