Five-fold symmetric penta-substituted corannulene with gelation properties and a liquid-crystalline phase

Five-fold symmetric penta-substituted corannulene with gelation properties and a liquid-crystalline phase.

Five-fold symmetric substituted corannulene derivatives that display liquid-crystalline behavior and organogelation properties were prepared by coupling of N-azidoethyl long-chain fatty acid amides to sym-pentabutynyl corannulenes via dipolar cycloaddition chemistry.

Five-fold symmetry in crystalline quasicrystal lattices.

To demonstrate that crystallographic methods can be applied to index and interpret diffraction patterns from well-ordered quasicrystals that display non-crystallographic 5-fold symmetry, we have characterized the properties of a series of periodic two-dimensional lattices built from pentagons, called Fibonacci pentilings, which resemble aperiodic Penrose tilings. The computed diffraction patter...

Electroactive C3 symmetric discotic liquid-crystalline triindoles.

Discotic liquid crystals based on triindole, a novel redox active central core, have been synthesized and their mesomorphic behaviour investigated.

Self-association and columnar liquid crystalline phase of cationic alkyl-substituted-bipyridine benzenedithiolato gold(III) complexes.

The introduction of a Au(III) ion into a mesogenic core, [M(Bdt)(Cnbpy)](+) (Bdt = 1,2-benzenedithiolato and Cnbpy = 4,4'-di-alkyl-2,2'-bipyridine (n = 13 (4,4'-di-tridecyl-2,2'-bipyridine (C13bpy)) and 8,10 (4,4'-di-(3-octyltridecyl)-2,2'-bipyridine (C8,10bpy)))), leads to the formation of ionic molecular assemblies in crystalline and mesophases. Successive syntheses of precursor complexes, [A...
