Abstract

Abstract By using aryl-amination chemistry, a series of rodlike 1-phenyl-1H-imidazole-based liquid crystals (LCs) and related imidazolium-based ionic liquid crystals (ILCs) has been prepared. The number and length of the C-terminal chains (at the noncharged end of the rodlike core) and the length of the N-terminal chain (on the imidazolium unit in the ILCs) were modified and the influence of these structural parameters on the mode of self- ...
