چکیده
We describe a new supramolecular approach combining host-guest and electrostatic interactions to design hybrid materials containing polyanionic bulky inorganic compounds and showing liquid crystalline properties.

Investigation into the temperature dependence of isotropic- nematic phase transition of Gay- Berne liquid crystals
Density functional approach was used to study the isotropic- nematic (I-N) transition and calculate the values of freezing parameters of the Gay- Berne liquid crystal model. New direct and pair correlation functions of a molecular fluid with Gay- Berne pair potential were used. These new functions were used in density functional theory as input to calculate the isotropic- nematic transition den...
متن کاملAdvances in the Engineering of Near Infrared Emitting Liquid Crystals and Copolymers, Extended Porous Frameworks, Theranostic Tools and Molecular Junctions Using Tailored Re6 Cluster Building Blocks
At the occasion of the fiftieth birthday of the introduction of the term ‘metal atom cluster’ by F. A. Cotton in inorganic chemistry, it is the good time to make a review on the advances in the engineering of molecular assemblies and nanomaterials based on octahedral Re6 metal atom clusters. The latter exhibit unique intrinsic structural and physicochemical properties (orthogonal disposition of...
متن کاملAnisotropic Self-Assembly of Supramolecular Polymers and Plasmonic Nanoparticles at the Liquid–Liquid Interface
The study of supramolecular polymers in the bulk, in diluted solution, and at the solid-liquid interface has recently become a major topic of interest, going from fundamental aspects to applications in materials science. However, examples of supramolecular polymers at the liquid-liquid interface are mostly unexplored. Here, we describe the supramolecular polymerization of triarylamine molecules...
متن کاملPaintable band-edge liquid crystal lasers.
In this paper we demonstrate photonic band-edge laser emission from emulsion-based polymer dispersed liquid crystals. The lasing medium consists of dye-doped chiral nematic droplets dispersed within a polymer matrix that spontaneously align as the film dries. Such lasers can be easily formed on single substrates with no alignment layers. The system combines the self-organizing periodic structur...
متن کاملLiquid crystal properties resulting from synergetic effects between non-mesogenic organic molecules and a one nanometre sized octahedral transition metal cluster.
This work presents the synthesis and studies of a red-NIR luminescent liquid crystal compound based on an octahedral metallic cluster core orthogonally bounded to six non-mesogenic organic ligands. It evidences synergetic effects between the organic and inorganic parts of the hybrid, resulting in the generation of liquid crystal properties on cooling from the isotropic melt.
