The synthesis and characterization of pyridine bent-core liquid crystals are reported. Some compounds exhibit B1 and B7 mesophases. Lower and wider mesophase ranges are obtained by decreasing the polarity of linkers between the pyridine ring and the inner aromatic rings, and increasing the length of terminal chains.
