36. s, the conformational and orientational ordering of mesogens in the SmC* phase can be modeled by a mean-field potential which qualitatively behaves like a binding site similar to that described in host-guest chemistry and biochemistry. Walba, D. M.; Slater, S. C.; Thurmes, W. N.; Clark, N. A.; Handschy, M. A.; Supon, F. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1986, 108, 5210. The mean-field potential has a zigzag shape so that the paraffinic side chains are, on average, less tilted than the aromatic core. (a) Bartolino, R.; Doucet, J.; Durand, G. Ann. Phys.
