Modulated SmA(b) phases formed by anchor shaped liquid crystalline molecules.

چکیده
Bent-core molecules with a linear alkyl chain in the bay position (anchor shaped molecules) form new liquid crystalline phases combining periodicities with different coherence lengths in distinct directions; in these LC phases the molecules are organized on average orthogonal in modulated layers (ribbons or patches) with restricted rotation around the long axis, thus representing modulated SmA(b) phases.

Order and dynamics of rod-like and banana-shaped liquid crystals by 2H NMR
Deuterium NMR spectroscopy is a very powerful technique for studying partially or totally ordered systems, such as liquid crystals (LCs) and polymers. LCs represent a branch of the most general class of soft materials, with peculiar physical and chemical properties which attracted scientific attention for their potentiality for technological applications. From a chemical point of view, there ar...
متن کاملSymmetries and physical properties of polar columnar phases in materials composed of achiral molecules
– Motivated by puzzling experimental observations made in compounds composed of banana-shaped molecules, we investigate the symmetries and the physical properties of liquid crystalline columnar phases with a macroscopic polarization in achiral materials. This study is driven by two key observations made for the still poorly understood B7 phase: a) freely suspended films decompose spontaneously ...

We discuss the macroscopic properties of several classes of polar liquid crystalline phases. We focus on polar biaxial liquid crystalline phases made of achiral molecules with ̄uidity in two and three spatial dimensions. The classes we examine include polar biaxial nematic phases, orthogonal biaxial smectic phases with anisotropic in-plane ̄uidity and tilted polar biaxial smectic phases with in...
متن کاملComplex tiling patterns in liquid crystals.
In this account recent progress in enhancing the complexity of liquid crystal self-assembly is highlighted. The discussed superstructures are formed mainly by polyphilic T-shaped and X-shaped molecules composed of a rod-like core, tethered with glycerol units at both ends and flexible non-polar chain(s) in lateral position, but also related inverted molecular structures are considered. A series...
