In a binary isobaric diagram there appears an intermediate smectic phase between a monomolecular smectic A phase and a bimolecular one. By means of several techniques evidence is given for this new mesophase with a liquid-like short range ordering. Some considerations about the long range structure of this novel fluid mesophase are put forward from X-ray investigations and lead us to name it as an « SA antiphase » (SÃ).
