A new series of discotic liquid crystals based on a truxene core has been synthesized to study the structure–property relationship in view of the self-assembling property and their linear and nonlinear optical properties.
We report the design, synthesis, and self-assembly of a novel series of pseudodiscoid dyads comprising electron-rich dialkoxyphenanthrene and trialkoxyphenyl rings appended to an electron-deficient cyanopyridone core.
Here, we deliberated the effect of donor strength on the electro-optical properties of D–A–D′ configured new cyanopyridone dyads by means of detailed experimental and theoretical studies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
