Synthesis of Banana-Shaped Liquid Crystals for Photoswitching Properties
Three banana-shaped monomers containing naphthalene as central units and azobenzene in side arms with terminal alkenes were synthesized and characterized. DSC, polarizing optical microscopy, and X-ray diffraction measurements prove that all compounds exhibit B6 phase. The trans-azobenzene showed hig...
