Based on the extensive database collected for model glass-forming liquid crystals with various mesogenic groups attached to benzene, cubane, cis- and trans-cyclohexane, and all-exobicyclo[ 2.2.2]oct-7-ene, it was found that the glass-forming ability and morphological stability are determined by a delicate structural balance between the volume-excluding core and the pendant group, and the stereochemical features of the hybrid system.
