“…RM23 (4′-cyano-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl 4-((6-(acryloyloxy)hexyl)oxy)benzoate), 5CB, 6OCB, and 8CB (4′-pentyl-, 4′-hexyloxy-, and 4′-octyl-4-biphenylcarbonitrile, respectively, see Figure S9), was unsuccessful. This was unexpected, as prior studies have highlighted the formation of kinked lamellar structures of nCB on MoS 2 crystals, driven by nominally favorable interactions and structural commensurabilities. − , …”
