Novel calamitic N ‐methylimidazolium and pyridinium salts with modified citronellyl side‐chains and various counterions 3 – 14 have been synthesised by utilising the commercially available ( R )‐citronellol ( 15 ) as the starting material. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarising optical microscopy (POM) and temperature‐dependent X‐ray diffraction studies revealed smectic A (SmA) mesophases for all the series. 1 H NMR studies of the N ‐methylimidazolium salts have shown that there is a correlation between the mesophase dependence on the counterion and the counterion‐dependent chemical shifts of the acidic 2‐H proton.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
