A series of novel calamatic liquid crystals based on a polar benzo[c]cinnoline moiety were efficiently prepared through a facile route. Rich smectic mesophases were induced by the monoalkylated and dialkylated molecular design, including highly ordered smectic mesophases in the rectangular and hexagonal orders. Dialkylated phenylbenzocinnoline derivatives showed a very wide temperature range over 150°C for smectic C (SmC) phase, while the monoalkylated ones only presented the low-ordered mesophases, which exhibited a bilayer structure in crystalline phase. From pronounced reversible redox waves in a cyclic voltammogram and low-lying lowest unoccupied molecular orbital level of about −3.2 eV indicated possible electron-transporting behaviour. In addition, a switching behaviour originating from ferroelectricity in SmC* induced by chiral dopant was observed.
