Soft Matter. 2020 Apr 29;16(16):3882-3885. doi: 10.1039/d0sm00331j.
We report an observation of a new type of a continuous soft matter phase with an orthorhombic symmetry made of polycatenar molecules. The bi-continuous orthorhombic structure with the Pcab symmetry appears by deformation of a double gyroid cubic structure with the Ia3[combining macron]d symmetry.
