1. Bimesogenic compounds of formula I wherein R11 and R12 are each independently H, F, Cl, CN, NCS or a straight-chain or branched alkyl group with 1 to 25 C atoms which may be unsubstituted, mono- or polysubstituted by halogen or CN, it being also possible for one or more non-adjacent CH2 groups to be replaced, in each occurrence independently from one another, by —O—, —S—, —NH—, —N(CH3)—, —CO—, —COO—, —OCO—, —O—CO—O—, —S—CO—, —CO—S—, —CH═CH—, —CH═CF—, —CF═CF— or —C≡C— in such a manner that oxygen atoms are not linked directly to one another, preferably a polar group, more preferably F, Cl, CN, OCF3, CF3, MG11 and MG12 are each independently a mesogenic group and at least one of MG11 and MG12 each comprises one, two or more 6-atomic rings, and Sp1 is a spacer group comprising 1, 3 or 5 to 40 C atoms, wherein one or more non-adjacent and non-terminal CH2 groups may also be replaced by —O—, —S—, —NH—, —N(CH3)—, —CO—, —O—CO—, —S—CO—, —O—COO—, —CO—S—, —CO—O—, —CH(halogen)-, —CH(CN)—, —CH═CH— or —CC—, however in such a way that no two O-atoms are adjacent to one another, now two —CH═CH— groups are adjacent to each other and no two groups selected from —O—CO—, —S—CO—, —O—COO—, —CO—S—, —CO—O— and —CH═CH— are adjacent to each other, X11 and X12 are different from each another and otherwise independently from one another are a linking group selected from —CO—O—, —O—CO—, —CH═CH—, —CC—, —O—, —S—CO—, —CO—S—, —S—, and —CO—, or a single bond, however under the condition that in —X11-Sp1-X12 — two O atoms are adjacent to one another, no two —CH═CH— groups are adjacent to each other and no two groups selected from —O—CO—, —S—CO—, —O—COO—, —CO—S—, —CO—O— and —CH═CH— are adjacent to each other. |
