One feature of the non-amphiphilic cubic mesophases is that they frequently show mutual miscibility even when constituted from dissimilar molecules. Such miscibility, which contrasts with the immiscibility between dissimilarly constituted solid crystals, is also found between nematic mesophases, between corresponding smectic polymorphs, and, of course, between amorphous liquids. This miscibility is important in its implication that in the cubic mesophases of the amphiphilic series there could well be an equilibrium of related globular micellar forms (Figures 1 and 5) rather than a single clearly defined form. 

Formation of the Vi and V2 Mesophases and of the Non-Amphiphilic Cubic Mesophase "Smectic D . In Figures 1 and 5, the formation of the amphiphilic cubic mesophases Vi and V2 is attributed to transitional globular micellar forms which arise intermediate between the indefinitely extended fibrous (M) and lamellar (G) forms which constitute the middle and neat mesophases, respectively. With a few non-amphiphilic mesogens (19, 20, 21, 22) a cubic mesophase "smectic D is found intermediate in the thermal succession of mesophases between smectic A...
