We report several novel thermometers resulting from the temperature-induced aggregation
of difluoroboron β-diketonate chromophores. These thermometers exhibit a much wider …

Nature constructs captivating stable structures and assemblies using the principles of order
and flexibility. A lot of literature evidence focuses on the design of mesogenic soft materials …

We report a new family of liquid crystalline porphyrin-core dendrimers with coumarin units at
the periphery of the dendrimer. These compounds have been prepared by copper-catalyzed …

Four new room-temperature nematic liquid-crystalline (LC) dimers consisting of a wedge-
shaped 3, 4, 5-tridecyloxy gallic ester molecule linked to either cyanobiphenyl, cholesteryl …

Hexylcyanobiphenyl liquid crystal was doped with graphene oxide at ratios% 0.25 GO,% 0.5
GO,% 1GO and% 2GO, and the change in physical properties of pristine and the doped …

In the hunt to develop room-temperature nematic discotic materials, we engineered a
molecular structure that employs a tri-alkynyl benzene core incompatible with π-π stacking …

Nematic mesophase formation in disc‐like systems remains relatively rare compared to
higher‐order columnar organisation, but it is observed in some rigid dimeric systems …

Calamitic molecules consisting of pentabromophenol tethered to cyanobiphenyl via a
flexible alkyl chain were synthesised and characterised for their mesomorphic properties …

Rufigallol is one of the earliest systems reported to form discotic columnar mesophase at
room temperature. In the present study, we have studied the impact of surface-functionalised …

Conformationally flexible cores that generate large free volume when stacked and have an
insufficient number of side-chains for filling the lateral space around each core have been …
