Uike in antiferroelectric liquid crystals, unpredictable liquid crystal structures would be formed by unconventional intermoiecular interaction. One of the most important examples is bent-core mesogens, in which chirality and polarity emerge despite being achiral molecules. This mesogenic system is the first topic of this talk. Intermolecular chiral recognision also provides molecular association, that forms some new phases, i.e., cubic phase and smectic analogue of the blue phase. These two topics will be presented.
