    Thermotropic liquid crystalline (LC) materials laterally substituted by a methyl group on the aromatic ring of the alkoxybenzoate unit far from the chiral centre exhibit a very broad temperature range in the ferroelectric smectic C* (SmC*) phase on cooling with a very high spontaneous polarization and tilt angle at saturation. LC material, representative of this category of LCs, has been studied by solid state 13C-NMR, SAXS, dielectric spectroscopy and optical methods. Values of the spontaneous tilt angle measured optically are compared to those determined from the x-ray data and discussed. 13C-NMR data allowed to get the information about the degree of orientational order of the SmC* phase and revealed the complete unwinding of the helical axis at the magnetic field of 9.4 T. This result is discussed in the framework of recent publications on the effect of the magnetic field on the supra-molecular structure of the SmC* phase.

    Termotropní kapalně krystalické materiály laterálně substituované methyl skupinou na aromatickém kruhu alkoxy benzoové jednotky vzdálené od chirálního centra vykazují feroelektrickou smektickou C* fázi při chlazení ve velmi širokém rozsahu teplot. Tyto materiály byly studovány pomocí 13C NMR spektroskopie, roentgenové difrakční spektroskopie, dielektrické spektroskopie a optických metod. Hodnoty úhlu náklonu molekul v smektické fázi měřené opticky byly srovnány s těmito hodnotami zjištěnými pomocí roentgenové difrakční spektroskopie a diskutovány.
