In this article we report several unsymmetrical phenyl-benzoate bimesogens that exhibit the twist-bend nematic phase and present further examples of oligomeric systems that display this unusual state of matter.

emergence of chiral domains in an achiral system. In this Communication, we present a study on T49 [bis(4‐(9‐(4‐((4‐cyanobenzoyl)oxy)phenyl)nonyl)phenyl) 4,4′‐(nonane‐1,9‐diyl)dibenzoate], a liquid‐crystalline oligomer exhibiting the twist‐bend nematic phase, which has a molecular length that is of comparable dimensions to the sub‐10 nm pitch determined for CB9CB, and provide new insights into the differentiation
