After preparing a novel amphiphilic liquid crystal hexamer possessing six cyanobiphenyl moieties and a semiperfluorinated alkyl chain, we used optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffraction to investigate its physical properties. The liquid crystal oligomer, 1, 10-bis{3, 4, 5-tris[6-(4′-cyanobiphenyl-4-yloxy)hexyloxy]benzoyloxy}-1H,1H,10H,10H-heptadecafluorodecane, was found to exhibit a bilayer smectic A to intercalated smectic A transition accompanying a discontinuous decrease in layer spacings. The transition is attributable to a change in its molecular conformation from a folded (or bent) to a linear structure.
