Despite the relationship between molecular structure and the occurrence of the twist-bend nematic phase being partially understood, very little is known about how these relationships are manifested for ether-linked bimesogens. In this article, we report several novel ether-linked bimesogens that exhibit the N-TB phase and explore how the thermal properties of these materials are largely governed by the angle between the two aromatic, carbocyclic or rigid cyclic units.
