Abstract

Non-conventional mesophases have been observed in novel ferrocene-containing liquid crystals. The formation of helical and garland-like superstructures, and spontaneous resolution into macroscopic chiral domains occur in the lamellar mesophase. The nematic mesophase shows unusual textures and chiral nematic droplets such as those depicted.
