Abstract
⺠A novel non-symmetric liquid crystal dimer is reported containing a sugar moiety. ⺠The dimer shows glassy behaviour and a highly interdigitated smectic A phase. ⺠The hydrogen bonding does not show a marked change at either Tg or TSmAI. ⺠The smectic A-isotropic transition is driven by changes in van der Waals interactions. ⺠Hydrogen bonded aggregates persist into the isotropic phase.
