Abstract:Photoluminescent liquid crystals (PLLCs) have attracted significant attention owing to their broad applicability in thermosensing and PL switching. Extensive efforts have been made to develop bistolane-based PLLCs containing flexible units at both molecular terminals, and it has been revealed that their PL behavior can switch with the phase transition between the crystalline and LC phases. Although slight modulation of the flexible unit structure dramatically alters the LC and PL behaviors, few studies into th… Show more
“…Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarising optical microscopy (POM) analyses were carried out to assess if these materials were predisposed to polymorphism and/or liquid crystalline phases. 11 The analyses for compounds 16a-f is presented in the ESI † and illustrated here for compound 16d in Fig. 6.…”
Concise and general syntheses protocols are reported to generate all-syn mono-, di- and tri- alkylated cyclohexanes where a single fluorine is located on the remaining carbons of the ring. The...

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.
