We reported that a rod-like dichiral liquid crystal 2-[4-[(R)-fiuorohexyloxylphenyll-5- [4-[(S)-2-fluoro-2- methyldecanoyloxy[phenyl]pyrimidine upon cooling exhibits an cndothermic transition from a chiral smectic C phase to an optically isotropic phase (IsoX). Recently the crystal structure of the compound has been determined. We will discuss intermolecular interactions responsible for the appearance of the IsoX phase.
