title = "Ionic N-Phenylpyridinium Tetracatenar Mesogens: N -phenylpyridinium tetracatenar mesogens: Competing driving forces in mesophase formation and unprecedented difference in phase stabilisation within a homologous series",
abstract = "Ionic, tetracatenar liquid crystals containing an N-phenylpyridinum core are described; many of these compounds display a SmA phase, something extremely rare in tetracatenar materials. The competing forces driving mesophase formation lead to an unprecedented difference in phase stabilities for SmA and Colh phases.",
