Liquid crystals are considered to be the fourth state of matter with an intermediate order and
fluidity in comparison to solids and liquids. Calixarenes are among one of the most versatile …

Nonsymmetric dimers derived from naturally occurring cholesterol represent an exemplary
and emerging class of chiral liquid crystals. They are formed by linking the pro-mesogenic …

Solar–thermal fuels (STFs) based on photoresponsive molecules, which can harvest and
store solar energy by the configurational change of molecules and can release it in the form …

A detailed microscopy study of the mesophases of 1, 11-di-(1′′-cyanobiphenyl-4-yl)
undecane (CB11CB) was undertaken, with an emphasis on attempting to relate the recent …

We report here design and synthesis of two new mesogenic homologous series of coumarin
derivatives consisting of chalcone and imine central linkages along with terminal n-alkoxy …

This paper reports the first fluorescent supramolecular columnar liquid crystals derived from
chalcone-biphenyl amine-functionalized on the lower rim of calixarene core with a good …

In this paper a synthesis, liquid crystal behaviours, photoluminescence and thermal
conductivity have been described for new sets of unsymmetrical dimeric molecules with …

In first series, 6-amino coumarin Schiff base derivatives 10a-g were synthesized with alkoxy
chain n= 6–18 and studied for their mesomorphic properties. In this series, compounds 10b …

ABSTRACT A series of asymmetrical liquid crystal dimers (E)-4 ((4 (n ([1, 1'-biphenyl]-4-
yloxy) alkoxy) phenyl) diazenyl) benzonitrile (BpnCN) were synthesized, consisting of two …

In this study, we synthesized two novel 1, 3, 4-oxadiazole-based bent-core liquid crystals
(OXD7*, OXD5B7F*) containing a chiral tail that display broad ranges of the blue phase III …
