A Nanohelicoidal Nematic Liquid Crystal Formed by a Non‐Linear Duplexed Hexamer

The twist‐bend modulated nematic liquid‐crystal phase exhibits formation of a nanometre‐scale helical pitch in a fluid and spontaneous breaking of mirror symmetry, leading to a quasi‐fluid state composed of chiral domains despite being composed of achiral materials. This phase was only observed for...
