Top banana ! Hydrogen‐bonded bent complexes of benzoic acids (H donor) and nonmesomorphic V‐shaped 4′‐stilbazoles (H acceptor) give rise to polar smectic C (SmCP, see graphic) mesophases. The multifunctional character of these noncovalent materials is confirmed through their electrooptical, dielectric, and luminescent responses.
