Abstract

Polycatenar liquid crystals, 1 represented as a new structural motif in exploring new mesogenic materials, have been extensively investigated during the past decades. The general structures of such mesogens 2 are virtually based on calamitic molecules, and often constituted by a relatively long central aromatic core surrounded by more-than-two terminal aliphatic chains on both ends. The core structures of known examples are composed of rigid elongated ...
