Hydrogen-Bonded Liquid-Crystalline Molecular Complexes

Polymeric Dopant Effects of Bent-Core Covalent-Bonded and Hydrogen- Bonded Structures on Banana-Shaped Liquid Crystalline Complexes

Two series of banana-shaped liquid crystalline (LC) H-bonded complexes HPm/CBn (i.e., bent-core H-bonded sidechain homopolymer HP mixed with bent-core covalent-bonded small molecule CB) and CPm/HBn (i.e., bent-core covalent-bonded side-chain homopolymer CP mixed with bent-core H-bonded small molecular complex HB) with various m/n molar ratios were developed. The bent-core covalentand H-bonded s...

Novel Supramolecular Side-Chain Banana-Shaped Liquid Crystalline Polymers Containing Covalent- and Hydrogen-Bonded Bent Cores

Novel supramolecular side-chain banana-shaped liquid crystalline (LC) polymer complexes AmBn-N bearing various (m/n) molar ratios of hydrogenand covalent-bonded bent-core components were acquired by the free radical polymerization, where the hydrogen-bonded (H-bonded) structures were executed via mixing equimolar portions of proton donor (H-donor) polymers AmBn (homopolymers/ copolymers) and py...

Polarized Infrared Spectral Studies of Crystalline, Hydrogen-bonded Organic Acids

A crystalline hydrogen-bonded network with a poly-catenate topology.

A polycatenate network, whose rings are formed from metal-templated hemispheres linked by hydrogen bonds, is reported.

Easily Accessible Thermotropic Hydrogen‐Bonded Columnar Discotic Liquid Crystals from Fatty Acid– Tris‐Benzoimidazolyl Benzene Complexes

We report the formation of easily accessible hydrogen-bonded columnar discotic liquid crystals (LCs) based on tris-benzoimidazolyl benzene (TBIB) and commercially available fatty acids. By increasing the length of the fatty acid, the temperature range of liquid crystallinity was tuned. Introducing double bonds in octadecanoic acid lowered the crystallization temperature and increased the temper...
