Hockey-stick liquid crystalline 6-oxoverdazyl

Mesogenic behavior of a 6-oxoverdazyl diradical: towards organic high-spin liquid crystals

“…One of the classes of liquid crystalline stable radicals is based on the 6-oxoverdazyl radical, [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] which includes a series of bent-core 1,5-bis(aryloiloxyphenyl)-6-oxoverdazyls 1[m,n] (Fig. 1).…”
