摘要

A series of 5, 5′-diphenyl-2, 2′-dithiophene based X-shaped polyphiles with two long lateral alkyl chains and terminal glycerol groups was synthesized and the liquid crystalline phases formed by these compounds were investigated by polarizing microscopy, DSC and XRD. These compounds form square (p4mm and p4gm) and hexagonal (p6mm) columnar LC phases. In these mesophases the molecules organize into polygonal honeycombs ...
