Transient mesomorphic phase

In the case of Cm, the cormection of straight mesogens, such as cholesterol [18] or ferrocenomesogens [19] indeed produced mesophases, although in most cases the Hquid-crystaUine phases were either transient or monohopic [20]. Conversely, the use of mesomorphic dendritic addends led to liquid-crystalline materials with accessible and stable mesomorphic properties.
