Abstract
From microscopical observations and structural studies on the mesophases of a new thermotropic polar compound — the nitrobenzoyloxybenzoate of octylphenyl — we have shown the existence of a novel fluid mesophase built with ribbons forming a two-dimensional oblique lattice. We propose a crude model based upon structure factor calculationsKeywords
